It really would be a pity if people left the city in droves, never to return.
What a difficult combination of circumstances. I don't envy the jobs of the politicians, civil engineers and architects all trying to decide how they rebuild a city and the surrounding region in a manner that resists earthquakes, while still capturing the charm and atmosphere the city had before the quake.

pressure on him to move back to England.Yes great win by the Highlanders against last year’s comp winners? the Bulls. Didn’t see the

Kiwi spirits could do with a bit of a lift, as long as they don't make a habit of it!!! Highlanders also had a great win against the more highly fancied Bulls. A very interesting series is developing. Cheers, Paul.

It was built following the design concepts from a book called “The Dobsonian Telescope – A practical manual for building large aperture telescopes” by David Kriege and Richard Berry who build Obsession telescopes. Fantastic book by the way teaches you a heap about their concepts and technics and the reasons why, how. Mind you I spent quite a bit of time on the telephone picking Peter Reeds mind on telescope making learning further variations on
the same concepts. So I guess there is a lil SDM in there too.If I were asked to choose I think I would have to go with SDM, that boy is a true craftsman. Once you see
the two side by side you’ll know what I mean. Cheers,CS RobFrom: nswnra-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:nswnra-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of judith stella

Glen I have no idea what an Obsession scope is but it sounds impressive and may the skies be crystal clear.
Did anyone watch the show on SBS on the solar system last night? It had a few scenes at the Paranal scope which looks to be in incredible country. They were all wearing very very warm clothes - take note Glen!
And Glen thanks for the link to NGC1999 - was that the one when you asked if we could see the pink?
I am getting a new deck on the side of the house - its only small but will increase the amount of sky I can see - still not much but an improvement.
This weekend not looking good. JudithFrom: nswnra-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:nswnra-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Paul McGuiness
