haha hey guys..
Was debating whether to do a "Mark Forums Read" and start from scratch, or try and catch up.. I've ended up doing a combination of both.. reading a few threads but ignoring a lot
Will do a full holiday report with pics when I get time to go through them all.. 400+ shots to go through, resize etc.
Didn't do any astrophotography.. well, a small lie, I held my camera up to the eyepiece of Ken's and Dave47Tuc's dobs to get a shot of Venus on Monday night. But that's it

Was too busy eyeballing some nice stuff through Dave's scope.. my snake valley report is in the official thread.
Had a great holiday, but it's also great to be back. Only 186 emails at home to go through, and I can only imagine it'll be 3 or 4 times that when I check my work email
I rang my boss this arvo and arranged to have tomorrow off as well, just too much to do at home!
Will post more when I get more time! Thanks for the welcome back!
