Well my decision not to go to SPSP has come back to bight me.:rolleyes: I had a lot of urgent work needed for some contracts and a report to complete, but the real reason is my daughter has been away in Canberra at a ranger guide camp, and she is due home tomorrow. If I went away I would loose any hope of going away later this year….. but to really rub it in I got a call from one of the guys up there - it was clear, calm and pristine skies, all be it a tad on the heavy dew side. They were polar aligned and ready for toinights onslaught.....

I was happy earlier this week when it was raining:help: – I didn’t feel too bad about not being up there:screwy:. But now – I am guilt riddled:confused2: and just a tad jealous :sadeyes:

Fabulous Saturday night at the SPSP with wonderful dark clear skies.

The views of Saturn were to die for.

Sorry you guys missed it.

Unfortunately, I was called away and couldn't get there and I had already paid.

Ah well, there's always next year.
