Mr Desperado Owl
Might be tempted again but will need to check weather very carefully this time.:rolleyes:
We may need to bring grass cutters me thinks! Could be the Pony Club Rainforest Reserve by now.:P

[Allan_L]

Noted :)

[Octane]

The forecast is atrocious for the rest of the week.

Hope you guys get some clear sky, anyway.

[gb_astro]

Weather Underground is showing less than 6% cloud for Saturday night.
Worth a shot.

Greg.

[GTB_an_Owl]

and 7Timer looking no where as good as it did :mad2:

geoff

[Allan_L]

Last night went outside about 3:30. Sky was beautiful. Spent an hour just looking. :stargaze:
Lets hope there is some of that left Saturday night!

[gmbfilter]

Have a clear night guys I won't be there
I'll be thinking of you all

[gmbfilter]

Was good last night I reckon I could see 4 in "the trap"............with 16x70 binos.........after several wild turkeys
Hope it keeps up

[gb_astro]

WU agreeing, a lot more cloud predicted.

Greg.

[Allan_L]

When is this darn climate going to start changing ... and dry up the sky a little :scared3:

[Rick Petrie]

From all reports it seems like tonight will be 'more betterer' than Saturday.
But at this late notice I guess nobody will turn up?

[Allan_L]

Don't bet on it

[GTB_an_Owl]

March apparently Allan

geoff

[Allan_L]

Hey Rick,
are you taking your new baby up to the club tonight?
If so I will come and keep you company

[Rick Petrie]

PM'd you.

[Allan_L]

Looks like it will try to set up in back yard and hope neighbour doesn't spoil the party. :ship2:

[GTB_an_Owl]

WELL!

are you all busy packing the car ?

geoff

[Rick Petrie]

Is it on????

[Inmykombi]

[Inmykombi]

Somebody ????

Anybody ????

:(

[GTB_an_Owl]

i'll be there about 7-30

just going to pack the car now

the storms will clear after 9pm

suggest you get ready to set up on the other side of the fence in the sand pit if the grass is as long as Rick says

geoff

[gb_astro]

Looks like I am probable out.
Bit too much of a gamble from Sydney.
Although...... might make a very late decision.
Greg.

[Inmykombi]

Looks like I'll go up for a while then.

I have to go to Sydney tomorrow early, so I'll stay for a bit.

Geoffro.

[GTB_an_Owl]

it's going to clear from the north Greg

get the car ready

geoff

[Allan_L]

I am a definite probable.
But not until 8 or so.

[Rick Petrie]

Ok I'm in. See you guys up there.:thumbsup:

[Inmykombi]

On my way in 1/2 hr or so.

[GTB_an_Owl]

i'll be ready to leave sometime after 6-30 pm

geoff

[Amunous]

[GTB_an_Owl]

morning Joe

the time is 4:40 am Sunday and i just got home

all i am going to say is this -

WE got lucky - did you ?

geoff

[astropolak]

Geoff
In light of the conditions I thought you needed a sacrificial lamb..., no luck for me..., no response at all as a matter of fact.

Joe

[Rick Petrie]

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Well I just surfaced after a nearly allnighter (the alternative) if you know what I mean Joe.;);)
We did get lucky and my scope got a taste of some good 'dark energy' and all I can say is Mmmmmmm!
Thanks to Geoff(owl), Geoff(Inmy), Joe and Al for another top night.:thumbsup:
Christmas party at the PC (bring it on).:)

[Allan_L]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :rofl:

What a mixed bag, some of the most frustrating time and some of the best seeing in ages.

thanks to Geoff, Geoff, Ric, and Joe for your company.
Thanks to Ric for those great views with the new baby - Orion Rocks.

[gb_astro]

Glad you guys had a bit of luck.
Looks like 7Timer scores a few more points.
I see that the Jetstream for once was nowhere near Sydney.
Should of helped with the seeing I guess.

Greg.

[RB]

Glad you guys had some luck.
Sorry I had to miss it once again.
Definitely have to try and make it next time.
Can't wait to see Rick's new toy.

:)

[Rick Petrie]

Does this mean that you are now going to cross to the 'dark side'
and join 'dob alley'?:lol:

[Deeno]

Great to hear you guys got some viewing in......
C'mon next month. Can't wait to have a sticky through the Orion

[Allan_L]

Could be !

Already done some price comparisons. :question:
