Mangrove Mountain in August
Hi All,
I'm keen to get out under the big black again this month. I'm wondering if anyone else is keen to get back out to the Pony Club.
Last month's attendance was great, with an excellent variety of scopes and trailers!
Who's in?

weather a bit iffy...
I could be persuaded if the forecast brightens up a little. Looks like a better than even chance it will be OK, but the seeing might not be very good with the jet stream screaming along at over a 100kts.
I'll make a sacrifice and maybe put up a couple of things for sale to see if the gods can be appeased.

Hi RB,
I can't make it this month but I hope to get up there for next month's new moon.
I need to test out Rod's new toy "The Glenfallus"
Looking forward to catching up with some old friends and to get to meet some new "Coasters".
I will bring my 14" SDM with me!
Cheers
John B

Pc in August.
Hi folks I am having day surgery on my right eye again. 3rd time in 4 years.
The surgery is scheduled for 4 pm Friday, so I can’t make it. I hope this surgery clears up the eye which has gone all milky and cloudy. Maybe I should t use the word cloudy... sorry, I did it again.
Anyway I’ll catch up again another time..

Thx everyone for the kind wishes about my eye. I’ll keep you informed after the Star Trek type surgery that is possible now. A few decades ago people with this condition would have lost their sight in that eye. Maybe a tweak in magnification as well as a repair would mean I didn’t need a scope anymore.
