Roberto
Another great collection Roberto, you can certainly get a lot done with a remotely controlled set up.
I can only get half into this month's presentation, the other half will have to go into the next month.
Can you remind me of your Bortle Scale, is it 6 or 7?
Carole
Thank you Carole. According to Clearoutside from FLO, I'm Bortle 6 for whatever that means.
I won't be in the UK next week so will miss the meeting (again :( )
Roberto
Fantastic collection again Roberto- well done :)
