Thanks Graeme,

Graeme and I will finally get to meet, and Graeme will also meet Apophisastros another TSS member. We will try to remember to take some photos of us together to post up on here and also hopefully some images.

The site is Bortle 4, much better than my home location of Bortle 8 and my only chance to take broadband images.

And a good time was had by all!

The clear Bortle 4 sky was a pleasure to see.

And how about that for a view:
