Let me see, my personal expenses come to......Ahhh $399 for the 4.5 Tasco.
The C14 was, well, half price.(let's do a deal).
It's the observatory that we are still counting the cost on. Optical and Radio.
As a community based and registered organisation, we can get grants for equipment, paid for by all those wonderful gambling people who frequent the Casino's. I thank them from the heart of my bottom....
When we are fully operational, we will be teaching schoolkids, college and Uni students, and be available to professional astronomers, mostly radio work though.
So, what is our gear worth?
2 X 14 metre dishes.(under
)
1 X 5 metre dish.(up and working)
4 X 2.5 metre dishes.(waiting for erection)
2 X 6 metre dishes (waiting for erection)
C14 and observatory (almost completed, but operational)
Starlight Cam
2 X solar power stations (1 finished, 1 under construction)
Land, buildings and accomodation.
I couldn't even guess at the value
.
Y'all come visit soon, Y'hear.
But I have finished paying my car off, now I have an extra $500 a month to spend. The wife want's the house done up....guess what comes first...
