Red face Hello I`m back too!

Hi everyone!
Long time no IIS or much else of civilization but I`m back up and running! glad to be around again. Boy it`s fun living out of a few boxes!
Since we sold up in May we have been living rough with just a 1kw genny and a caravan on our 20 acre bush block up from Glen Innes N.S.W. Now that we have power connected and yesterday a phone line and the ROR observatory (most important) is up and has seen first light.
The house plans have been approved by council so I shall have a very busy year ahead of me!
So hello everyone again and I have heaps of catching up to do!

Hi Gary, welcome back.

Great to see it's all coming together up there and the important bits are done.

How are the skies up that way? Nice and dark I'll bet.

Cheers

Hi Ric, Hope all is well your way! The skies are pretty dark but still have some LP from town as we are not far out from Emmaville. but it`s only minor...

Hi Humayun! Thanks for that. I missed looking and commenting on the deepsky images. So many to look at since I was here last.

Hi Adam, Yeah , nice skies lots of trees and roos for company. Have a bit of a outlook to the north which is nice and we catch a nice cool breeze being high up!

Thanks everyone, hope you all have been keeping well and getting clear skies..Must admit I do enjoy all the extra clear skies up this way.
cheers Gary
