Great collection of images Pedro - some superb captures of that huge prom. Look forward to seeing your animation.
I was rather frustrated to have missed yesterday's fun as I was travelling home from my holiday.

Hi Pedro...

A fabulous collection of images...superb detail in each one :bow

Nice to see the layout of you observatories and flora in your yard. I've got to show the bride these pics...she thinks 'm crazy to have 3 observatories in the backyard, so I'm not the only one thinking this way :lol:
