Stanks Steven, you have to give it a try, it is relatively easy object and very large but apparently overlooked by most amateurs..

We suffered no damage to the "shed" observatory near yours, but the fire came very close.

Thanks John, we got very close to a big disaster last January, let's hope there will not be another event like that one!
