Actually I may go to blackheath twice this wkend (sat and sun). Forecast so far seems good to me. But may go to different location.

I may do some nightsky shooting instead.. I will probably go to these lookouts few times in coming days if weather is ok.

If you are interested please let me know see if we can meet there.

Btw I love Pony club too but just I also want to take some nightsky / milkyway therefore go to blackheath this time

Anyway I will bring my scope.. my friends are interested in

Looks like we have the numbers so it should be on weather permitting.
Mostly cloudy all day but predicted to clear in the evening.
I should be there about 7:30.
Greg.

Weather looks promising on all the forecast sites I have checked.
Permission slip signed.
Packed the van during the lunch break in the cricket.

I plan to arrive between 7:30-8:00.

Oh! What a Night ...
The Christmas gods delivered bigtime:
A clear night of great seeing at the PC,
A great cast of old and new friends,
And the views of (and through) The Wild Thing!

Best night of seeing at the PC this year (IMHO).
A good turnout of Phil, Rod(star), Greg(B), Geoff (Filter), John (Fizics), Joe (and family) Andrew (RB). sorry if I missed anybody.

The Wild Thing is a thing of beauty. 28 inches f3.3. Silky smooth ballet between stunning views. Thanks for sharing Phil.
Comet C2014Q2 Lovejoy provided the most WOWs! Big and green with a tail that filled the eyepiece. Looked like a Christmas ornament on a tree.
(Photo by Rhemann courtesy of Sky&Telescope).

Thankyou John for the sticky bun dessert.

Locked the gate at 1:22

Merry Christmas to all,
Hoping for more nights of the same in 2015 (...and world Peace)
