I was trying to be realistic .......

Yep, a pretty spectacular place, but would you really want to live there? I'm too fond of other thing like bushwalking, picnicing, birdwatching, my vege garden etc to want to live there permanently. Now if I could arrange a few nights a month around new moon that would be different. An IIS timeshare obs perhaps??

Good idea.....equip it with a PlaneWave C700 or a RCOS 32" and we'd be laughing. Even an Astelco 1.5m would be good

Mike, that would be so good, there seems plenty of room for all of us up there.

Love to see it in the dark.
