Mangrove Mountain 1st December

I will be hosting a couple of UK visitors to a night under dark Australian skies at Mangrove Mountain [aka The Pony Club] on Saturday 1st December.

this may be a final chance for all of us to get a session together this year.
and it is the only opportunity for Dan and partner from UK.
It would be good if some people could bring their Big Scopes out

It will be after Last Qtr so moon rise will not be a problem (estimated moon rise 2:33am).

Please put this date in your calendar and try to make it a big pre Christmas get together.

Please register your interest by replying to this thread.
All Welcome. (with or without telescope)
See here for some location details or ask.

I just want to say thank you to Allan_L for arranging this! I really am looking forward to meeting you all and enjoying your amazing skies. I am unsure what an Apple Charlotte is but I am determined to bring one along too

Dan it is a version of an apple pie, with an icing. If you do a search on the term you will see many different types, but the one Allan refers to is a product of the Charmhaven Bakery on the NSW Central Coast. It has become something of a tradition of gatherings at the Bretti dark site camping trips, thanks to Allan. It is always most welcome, and often accompanied by a glass of Port.

I may grace you all with my presence as well. My scope has been repaired and it now needs to get some photons thru it. See you there....

Yep,
Me and UK Dan and partner and friend and partner and Apple Charlotte. (ordered)

Meeting Dan at Mangrove Mountain General Store (cnr. Waratah Rd) at around 7pm.
[This is the closest public toilets as far as I know for anyone interested - behind community hall across the road from the shop]
Unfortunately the shop itself will be closed by then, they tell me, so eat before hand, or bring something.
I will bring Tea Coffee milk and hot water.

Sunset around 7:45.

moonrise 2:30 Sunday

But I have to leave by midnight.

Planning on getting there about 6:30. Any more takers? Early night for me and probably leave at about 10:30.
Also packing an Apple Charlotte and won't be leaving until after that.
