Two months ago I had the opportunity to acquire a remote controlled observatory from a friend who is now in the final stages of setting up an observatory in Chile. The observatory is in a small hamlet in the southern Alps in France where the skies are really dark (SQM 21.6-21.8 typically) and where there are a lot of clear nights during the year.
On the rare occasions of me smiling, my mouth moves a millimeter or two. So on the picture below you can see I’m really, really happy.
