Thanks
Having setup the telescope in there to see what angle of the sky it will be able to see, I figured out I can stand and look through the eye piece when it's at its highest. But a false floor might be very handy, combined with a gas-lift stool. At the moment if the floor was higher, I wouldn't be able to stand up in one edge of the building. But I'll think about it yeah. I'll look into what height stools are too.
Outside of Christchurch (here in Tuahiwi) the skies seem quite good yeah. In between Rangiora, Woodend and Christchurch. Although that spotlight of a full moon lit up the skies well last night!
Thanks
Wow, that's some fantastic sounding gear you have up there!
