Love that gorgeous red star beside Mimosa since I was first shown it some weeks ago. And love the Jewel Box - many thanks Rob.

ps. Your corrugated iron observatory looks very Aussie!

Hey Rob,
finally, after all your fritzing around out there..
Man, with your static discharge (no doubt generated from excessive amounts of WT & coke), it's amazing you can actually get near your computer
at all

Seriously, I reckon your colours are pretty darn close here.
What a FOV..... Coal Sack, Mimosa and the Jewel box in one hit...
Really like the look of mimosa...
Good stuff

Now, treat us with some more...... OK

I was going to say 'cheers', but you need no encouragement.
All the best
Rich

Ah dietz good to hear from you! Tell me you are in austria i believe? I ask because you have some nice dark skys there i imagine?
I visited austria 10 years ago out of all the countrys in europe i liked best austria ,switzerland and hungary and stunning scenery
cheers rob

[Dietmar]

hey Rob,

I am in austria indeed.
there are some nice spots providing real dark skies - but as civilisation grows these places get rare.
my observatory is luckily located in a place where I sometimes find very nice conditions - most of the time it is regular...

are you planning on another trip to austria?

Very well done!
