Yeah, there was a guy that had a 10-inch mirror. Oh, that was such a cool telescope too. It was entirely homemade. This guy had a machine shop in his back garden. It was entirely homemade. He had a fork mount. It was F4.7 Utonian. And he also made his own cold plate cameras. And he took a lot of... Oh, I need...

And I remember coming home from school on the bus and having a bite to eat and then going out into the end of the garden shed and working on the mirror.

Yeah, it's not a lie. That sounds like that. That was a very very cool thing So so how that's so cool. I mean I'm reading that reading that and now I actually know someone who actually did that.

I do remember reading about the silver in the mirror because when I built my 12-inch reflect that many, many years ago, I built it and silver in the mirror. I used his information from that particular book. I'm not sure if I still got that book. Maybe they're in PDF format and you can download them online. I don't know because it's been such a long time.

He couldn't have given it to me. I was a paid student. Anyway, I always have fond memories of that astronomy book in high school that I enjoyed so much. Readin' about some old school astronomy stuff. And interesting. Yeah, I hear so many things about the weather. I'm just surprised that he found a place that worked for him.

We don't have any real wildfires like they got up in Canada or you do have in the US, California maybe I think if my memory serves me correctly and so other places in the US. But I'm going to add an exception to that yet. But if our temperatures keep rising and the length of period of time we're having really, really warm weather I can see that happening here as well. But it won't make no difference to our observations because of it's going to be cloudy. But we haven't experienced any of the smoke kind of hazards that you're experienced in there over in the US and of course Canada.

Back to you, yeah, 7PKL. Okay, I7, PKL from GW8, okay, they're right. Yes, that's going to be a problem as well. I think Starlink is going to face free or something like that. I can't remember now to top my head. But there's going to be even more.

And I've been very cautious about smoke, if there's any smoke I didn't have, you know. And just got to the point where, let's just try and see if we can image through the smoke or can we do any useful because otherwise, for about four months out of the year or something like that, we just wouldn't do any image, much of any image in the dark, it's just bubbles, except. So far it seems to be going okay. Light smoke, I can still guide and get a pretty decent, you know, whatever you call that.
