Cheers to more good years in astronomy!

Well, Remus arrived here in Australia fit & well [smilie=cheer.gif]

He came to visit us at our Club night up here in the country where we have pitch black sky. Remus loved it so much he was back here 2 nights later at my house where we went on a tour of the Southern Sky through a 12" Dobsonian Reflector and Remus also watched me imaging Galaxies.

He will be up here again this weekend too.

So much for his statement saying that he won't have much time for Astronomy while working in Australia LOL.

It's great to have him here and he is certainly enjoying Dark Sky :mrgreen:

I thought I better put in an image of the horrible sky we have here at my town that Remus has to look at.

Hmmm . . . the pic doesn't look very good when compressed down to fit the required size of 65kb.

Welcome to Singastro, Ken!
Maybe I should look for a job Down Under!

Say... do you have an opening for a doctor in your area? :cool:

Nice sky. But I suppose we had better not ask why it's called "Snake Valley" ;-)

Go well!

There is always a need for Doctors around here. Almost all Doctors only want to work in the cities.
