Well and truly worth all the expense and hassles along the way eh?

Just one good night looking at DSO's sure recharges the batteries.

My turn tonight though its just from hope with the little one.

Was planning on tonight, Friday, Saturday and Sunday the forecast was for clear sky tonight. Monday that changed to 26% cloud, now it is 68% cloud (sky is 100% cloud and a heavy grey) and there has just been a clap of thunder.

Methink's tis not going to happen.
