Group: Forum Members Posts: 309, Visits: 1.6K	Thank you Tim. This is a very nice feature. Is the line thickness of the purple needles sufficient enough to make them clearly visible during the day? The diagram shown on the website gives the impression that they may just be be a teeny weeny on the slim side. As I said, it would be difficult to beat the colours you´ve chosen. well done Tim & SD Co. Very Newbytheway DurhamTeaseAirport
