Smile Observing I will go

Set up the 16" scope for the first time in about six weeks
No observing report Juuuust going to enjoy the night sky tonight
How I would have loved to have had the scope in the West McDonald Ranges in Central Australia on my trip, the sky was fantastic

Hi Ron, sounds like you had a great trip, we have settled in now at Peachester and i have had my scope out a few times WOW it is so dark out here compared to central coast of NSW, the dew late at night here can be a bit much but the dew heaters work well so no problems so far. I tried tonight to get the scope out I set it up then it clouded over.Talk to you later.
