My SQM-LE has in fact been sending data to the Globe at Night - Monitoring Network! Only the 4th unit providing data in the Southern Hemisphere, and ONLY unit in Australasia! Providing to global science from little old Oamaru, NZ!

What an awesome week or 2, my SQM-LE has gone live and has been confirmed the first unit in Australasia, & only 4th unit in Southern Hemisphere (GaN-MN,) private observatory listed with RASNZ, enquire about a TESS unit just for the creator in Spain to know who I am already!
