Ive been very quite of late..... so i thought i should let you all know that i'm still alive....

have currently been addicted to playing an online game called world of warcraft! Its very addictive!... though i am just about over it!

I have also gone back to uni doing some post grad study in management.

On top of that.... Simon and I bought our first home this week!! Woooo!

He wants a cinema room, and i want an observatory... im sure we could come to a comprimise!!

Unfortunately i havent done much observing, due to clouds when i do want to go out, or the moon! has been a few bushfires around aswell... that and ive been slack!

my guess is an observatory will win, call it married mans intuision!!!

[rowena]

Haahahahah maybe.....

he will want a 80cm LCD tv though.... though if i did build an observatory it will be computerised, with ADSL connection *grin*

possibly even so i can use the scope remotely, or setting up live 'webcam' action. Will have to wait and see. all these grand plans!

Nice to here from you Rowena,

Get away from that online gaming it's too addictive.

I will try to catch up with you in the near future as I plan on doing a Gympie-Marybourough-Bundaberg-Gladstone-Rockhampton-Emerald-Biloela-Sprigsure work trip very soon.

I know what you mean Rowena - skies on the Sunny Coast have been very cloudy at night for AGES! At least I have my 57 gnome mage on Gilneas to help when skies are opaque

Toss a coin Rowena not that it will always turn out the right way but it sounds good . My son is heavily involved with that game, has been for the last 12 months or so i think. Congrats on the house and good viewing to you, when you get around to it..

i havent even tested my new camera lens (aka, strikers 100mm F2!) ive been very bad! lol

Congrats on your new home Rowena.
Maybe his home theatre can be an annexe off the observatory. Can you imagine sitting back in a comfy chair, scope remote in hand, watching all the action on the big screen. Luxury.

[rowena]

mmmmmmmmm ideas! i like it!!! lol

i was actually thinking the same thing myself. though i think i will need council approval to construct the dome, or get a premade on put on site.

Hey Ving, as I was reading about the comfy chair and remote in hand the same thought crossed my mind.

2 great minds (well one great (yours) and one mediocre(mine)) thinking alike
