Thanks a lot Chris It's a fabulous observing spot, magnificent by day and magnificent by night, the attached photos (Taken by my guest astroimager and mate, Alex Marziano) are simple single 25sec exposures processed in an attempt to capture, as accurately as possible, what it actually looks like to the naked eye up there. They are the distant lights of the small southern NSW town of Cooma, the gateway to the Snowy Mountains, 56km away, near the horizon there Already planning, negotiating and designing the new observatory, aim at this stage is to build the new observatory in the first half of next year

Mike
