Looking at the ephemeris for mid November I'm going to be trying mainly for saturn, should be nice and high just before dawn, around 40 degrees altitude.
Not a lot else happening in the way of planets otherwise, maybe I'll get to do some DSO hunting in the early evenings :-)
Not sure which mirror I'll be bringing, the 13.1" is still off being re-worked by Mark, and the Royce 14.5" hasn't arrived yet so I'm currently "between scopes". I should have them both by the end of this month. I'll probably bring the 13.1", but I might bring the 14.5" as well (They both fit in the same tube and have the same focal length so they can be interchanged).
cheers, Bird
