South is an important direction. And what is in the way is in the way...

An old movie quote from a german film from the 70s says "There comes the day when the saw wants to saw"

If I did that to our 80+ year limetree (I made our 42m2 terrace “unter den linden” last year) I’m pretty sure I would be asked to find a new spot for my stargazing activities - it wouldn’t be in my garden
But I have a birch tree and a copper beech that needs to go as a part of my observatory plans.

I have a new house with better sight lines than my old one had. Moon was out really bright last night, so I went after open clusters, the moon, and the comet.
