Hi Stephen,
I really like these and your artistic additions, so very well done for the excellence.
Lucky you and your driveway, as just before midnight here/tonight my neighbour decided to light a bonfire of garden-refuse in his drive-way and very close to my observatory, where my CCTV and alarm-systems at my observatory alerted me of the fire and flames and flaming-debris were floating over the observatory or even coming from it.
Luckily I'm well armed with suitable fire-extinguishers and fire-trained too, so quickly put-down the major-part of the fire when the fire-service also arrived and completed the task.
I could well have saved my observatory and no doubt some hard-earned astro-gear too...
What we astro/Solar guys and gals have to do for our hobby...??
Regards
Terry
