Donal, you're too nice a guy. Maybe that's why you don't
hang around here much any more?


I've never been accused of being "too nice" before.

The reasons for my absence are Astronomy and the piano. I've been trying to
do astrophotography, and it is much more difficult than I could have
believed. I have also been trying to learn to play the piano.....

The piano requires about 3 hours a night, and astrophotography requires
every single second of clear dark sky that is available.

I'm no good at either yet, but I am sort of getting there with the
astrophotography.

Regards

Donal
