Hi Bob,
Congratulations on opening your site and starting on your obsevatory! I lived for 9 years between Goshen and Chester off of Craigville Road. I currently live in Mission Viejo, Ca and experience astronomy as a Soalr System Ambassador for JPl, Docent at Palomar Observatory, and a Trustee for the Orange County Astronomers here in California and as a long distnzce memebr of the New Jersey Astronomicla Association. Hopefully, I'll be starting to build my observatory this year outside of Anza, Ca in the high desert. Again, congratulations and best of luck. Tom Ou |
