Yes - well - what looked like a very promising nite was spoilt by the cloud and dew - which wasn't supposed to be there.

good till about 11pm - then started to cloud out
Jupiter was looking very promising, and i was waiting for Orion to shine later on - but not to be - oh well - there is always next week
a reasonable sucker hole was opening up around 3am, but we had allready made the decision to close up.

Think we had 11 of the diehards on the roll call in all, and was good to see the people from across the road, who graciously turn their lights off for us when we visit, come over for a look through the scopes.

we gave RB a proper "birthday cake and beer" celebration, which he obviously didn't know he was going to get, cause he brought his own cake
very nice it was too

another good nite out with the crew - even if the clouds didn't want to play fair
