You're never too old!

And here's my octogenarian mother-in-law to prove it...

Doreen enjoyed a glimpse of the moon between the clouds tonight and now wants an Ice In Space t-shirt!

A couple of years ago We had Zubenals dad looking through Peter Robbins 20" scope 8 ft up a ladder and he was over eighty and there was a gentlman at Astrofest who was 92, so there is still hope for me for a long time yet i'm only 63
Well done Doreen

I like the slippers - they look toasty warm. Not too sure about the OH&S issues though!

Cheers

Don't even think about it..... Let's see, an induction say 1 hour, work permits, now where was the work permit book, up to 3 hours, safety boots, overalls and helmet and perhaps even a security clearance. One additional person to hold the ladder at all times and of course your public liability insurance details have to be checked. Sound far fetched, I've had the above to contend with on a site where the actual job was only 30 minutes work. Total time to get the work done 4 1/2 hours. Back to the the subject, that's a fantastic effort, even though I work on ladders all the time I find it most uncomfortable climbing a ladder in the dark to view.
