That's right Ric. When the weather comes right I'll certainly appreciate it alot more.

Thankfully we have this other hobby, as you say IIS

I remember a thread a few months ago about how bad the weather was in Victoria. Now I have some sympathy for them. (Although I didn't at the time)

What goes around comes around

Cheers

Gary

Hope you had a great night Kev.

It's looking to be a great night here as well, The only problem is that I've been so busy on the farm today I'm completely knackered. I don't think there's any energy left for tonight.

I'll see how I'm going in an hour or so.

Might just blow the cobwebs, dust, cat pee, and animal fur off my 10" dob and have myself a predawn session

Hope you get a good night out Mark, I've had lean pickings since September, I'm hoping to get a good run over Christmas.

Cheers
