Pony Club (central coast) September 2014

[Arthur Alchin]

For those not venturing out of the area this month the new moon is Wednesday 24th so does Saturday the 20 th or 27th September sound like a goer weather permitting??

If so I will be up there early (have a key) and looking forward to some good viewing.

Looking forward to meeting up to all those going

[Shano592]

I think either might be a goer, Arthur.

Probably best to make hay while the stars shine. If they shine.

[Arthur Alchin]

Probably car-less this weekend, Geoff ( Inmykombi) possibly coming to my place for a viewing night in the front drive. Will keep all posted

[Fizics]

:hi: Any one going to the pony club this Saturday 27th?

[gmbfilter]

Possibly.

[Arthur Alchin]

Was thinking of making the trip to the PC, anybody else thinking about it...?.

Haven't seen the projected weather

[malau]

May I have the address again? I am planning go to Blackheath look out but thinking other location

[Arthur Alchin]

Hi David

The address is the mangrove mountain pony club ( historically known as McKenzie Park) and it is situated on Wisemens Ferry Road Mangrove Mountain

Mike, the originator of Iceinspace has placed a map at the top of star parties, it is quite easy to get to although I have never done it from the wisemens ferry end.

There is a lock on the gate which a number of us have the key to amd some arrive before sunset to get established before nightfall.

If you do make it we look forward to meting you. If you have a CB radio usually sittingon channell 11 these days and just put a call out for the pony club boys ( nothing like the village people):rofl:

[Shano592]

That is UHF 11...

I'll try to get the Meade coffee grinder up there.

Astropanel suggests a clear night with good transparency, but high humidity ... Dew heaters at 5 paces, methinks.

[Inmykombi]

Weather permitting, I will be there. :D

[malau]

Thanks. Are there any places in there can take some photo like "stars painted on my car"? :rofl:

I probably join you guys if weather is ok. May have few more friends come along

[malau]

Just wonder what time will you guys be there tomorrow?

[Arthur Alchin]

I usually arrive about 1630 to set up before sunset, but that's just me 😄😄.

I do have a key so it's not an issue. Can be there earlier if necessary, it's about 25 minute drive from my place ( at the longest)

[gb_astro]

Hope to be there.
Looks like clear but windy all night.

Greg.

[malau]

Can you PM me your contact num please just in case if Im lost I still can have someone contact to.

Btw is it the address 2986 Wisemans Ferry Road Mangrove Mountain?

Thanks.

I probably will be there by 5 or 6

[gmbfilter]

Loaded up and on my way

[gb_astro]

That 2986 address seems to give the wrong result in google maps,
about 200 meters south of where it really is.
