I am pleased to say I had a great time away with you all.
You are all as crazy as me so I fit in well.

Weather wasn't playing the game, but some down time with mates was good.
I must say that I want a pair of Bino's like Jason's.
2 x 150mm refractors give a different and pleasing dimension to observing.
With Geoff's help, I have solved the mystery of the missing battery cover for my red light torch.
Geoff ( Mr. Owl ) said to eliminate the most improbable and then look at the most likely.
This brought to mind " Ockham's Razor".
So Applying this to my problem I realized that instead of the battery cover being sucked up into the Black Hole in the centre of our Galaxy, it must be either on the ground somewhere, or in my van.
It was nowhere on the ground....
I found it in my van under the passengers seat, thus proving that his theory works.
The battery cover is back home on its torch now...
Looking forward to next time away.
