Sorry to all SE Qlders - ready for more rain
Just a quick apology to all SE Qlders for the upcoming absolute crappy weather. Yes it will be all my fault, I've made a few purchases this week.  
I'm a firm believer in buying your own xmas presents.

Hi Paul
Nothing new here - I'll drop Matt an e-mail as it seems you've got your DMK already eh?
Cheers

Whats it going to take to fill our dams Tony..
Your STL11000 only brought us 50mm of rain + 2 weeks of cloud 
Maybe a 16" RC might do the trick

Fear not Paul we are moving into an excellent weather window at least around 25' south for the next two weeks.
Looking forward to seeing what you might produce with your new bundle of goodies!

You've brightened up my day...in fact, I am so happy I might even risk setting up tonight and going for 2004 XL14, a 225 metre mag 16 NEO that will miss us by approx 10 Lunar distances on 20th Dec. See Spaceweather.
Cheers
Dennis
