      If it matches anything else that is conjured from the Moonshane laboratory, it is going to be amazing...

      Fitted all bearings and a couple of coats of black stain. Just adding the clear top coats (x3) and it will be usable at last.

      Good to hear you're on the mend! when you're fully recovered, these pesky clouds might have dispersed!!

      cheers guys. here's hoping things settle down soon, my brother in law is bringing his scope later this week (or maybe moving one of mine for me) I think if the weather looks any good for the asteroid pass.

      If you guys from the Peak Party are reading this I did a little asking and found tha the best clear skies for your guys will be around 4am this 'evening', that is Saturday early. Should be great to catch some of those winter joys. Hope you all have a great time.
