Thanks for the report Dennis , saves me doing a long one there were eight telescopes in attendance with the largest Bills 50cm dob and the smallest Pauls 80 mm refractor, twenty one people in all had a great time with sky tours of all the great objects,Saturn,Jupiter, Cent A Omega Cent, Ect, and even some obscure ones such as Ngc4976, which is more visible in photo's than in telescopes.
New IIS member Dr morbius and his family and friend enjoyed themselves with views through Bills 50Cm and My 40cm plus the 25cm of Steve's, which he hopes to purchase a simular scope in the near future
Most observers had left or gone to bed by 02:00 but Steve (Gargoyle Steve) and I stayed up for about another hour doing a binocular tour of the Milky Way, eventualy calling it a night when the high thin cloud made any further observing not worth while
