Out last night in the observatory, an interesting night, first night for quite awhile. I was starting to pack up and close down about 1230 when I heard someone on his phone in the lane a couple of feet away. Deciding to wait until he finished and buggered off I stayed quite until I realised he was not going away so got on with with closing down, it was then I heard him say that there was someone in his neighbours shed. It dawned on me that he was speaking to the police and I was the subject, hitting the security switch I got the lights on and greeted him over the fence, we both laughed about it, closed down and got into the house before I had to answer to the police :)

Glad it resolved itself in a sensible manner. I have a new neighbour who now makes a point of turning lights off in his house if he knows I have the scope set up. I have not asked him directly, but I have noticed it ever since he inquired as why ' I kept moving my patio heater in and out of the shed....!!!' ( In fairness, all he had seen was a green cover and the bottom of the tripod legs.)..... but on telling him of my hobby, he was genuinely interested in helping out..... in fact he is going to chop down the Leylandii at the bottom of his garden..... it's a "Carlsberg does neighbours" scenario...
