300 observing sessions in 3 years is a hell of an accomplishment. Huge congratulations. Now, we mere mortals want to know how you did it. I consider myself very very lucky if I get to observe once

Morning everyone, Well the other night I phoned Mr & Mrs Blair, the couple that have land near Cardys Retreat, and got permission to use a lot of land they have which Mrs Blair claims has a very good

And a gracious good morning to all! Would you guys mind a montrealer joining your list? I'm somewhat astronomically challenged, but more than make up for it with my amazing ineptitude and lack of
