Dave's are cool, aren't we? I used to (years back) play western districts grade c snooker (Sydney) - we had 4 Dave's in our team of Six and it was hilarious introducing everyone :)

Agree with David, Nice observing weather - not too cold, clear skies. Wandered around Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pegasus with the SDM. Very limited at present with my southern views.

Last weekend (10th) was beautiful and clear....... I had acute food poisoning. Observing was replaced by spending the entire damn weekend in bed and well....lets just say events a little less pleasant than a night under the stars.... there was no way in hell I could go outside....

:( pgc, it's not fair, is it? There's always the next time though (that's how I look at it). Wanting every night to be perfect is unatural and just a wee bit greedy on our part I think. Gotta take the good with the bad. Anyways, not being at the scope lets you do lots of things like: catch up on IIS goss, learn how to use that new program you bought, work on images, work in a viewing plan, or simply catch up on some sleep. :)

I was annoyed and that's putting it lightly. Also having the flu is not nearly as bad as food poisoning, as I now know.

Just another obstacle to add to the list I guess...although atleast it's not nearly as common as Melbourne Cloud... imagine having gastro for 365 days per year for eternity....no thanks! ;)
