I turned up to my very first asto soc observing night without a seat/chair, map, light and warm clothes (well it had been a warm day). after seeing if anyone had a spare seat and drawing a blank I grabbed a small cussion out of my car, someone had a small planisphere but no spare torches.
by the end of the night i had a sore back, sore knees from kneeling alot and didnt really find anything of interest despite the good seeing because i couldnt read the plainsphere in the dark.
hope i dont forget anything on the 2nd!!
