Ha ha, all in good time Marcus
For various reasons things have slowed down right at the moment, as it turns out there are many logistical, not to mention financial
, twists and turns and considerations, in, not only constructing Australia's' Highest observatory, on a relatively remote mountain that is not my primary place of residence, while having a full time job
...but as you know, just running a 100 acre rural property has its own trials and tribulations....thus, the most important quality is most certainly patience
. In the beginning I was feeling a bit excited and kinda rush rush, wanting it done yesterday, especially after the wonderful observing sessions last year that blew my eyes and mind with spectacular skies...but there has been a lot involved....and many delays.
Of course that doesn't prevent me from stopping to reflect on the beauty of the location from time to time, it's bloody hard not too
