No that hill is not part of the property but it is quite a few acres...when we inspected it I looked very carefully all around for all other houses, lights floodlights etc and couldn't spot much at all within koowee

I've been using CCD Commander lately - fabulous to let the imaging rig run overnight while I sleep! Can't wait until my life progresses to the point that I can move to a permanent setup!
