A date has been organised for the next astro viewing at Bear Cottage, 17'th of June. Bit of 'will it happen, won't it happen' after the flooding the Cottage experienced a couple of weeks ago due to the amount of rain that fell.

I'll be taking two, maybe three scopes. Odessius, my 17.5", will most likely be just for exhibition- just too big for most kids there. I'll be also taking my C5, to which I'll also attach the webcam I knocked up using the 'Projects and Articles' webcam project, . I may also take my 8" reflector. It will also serve as a comparison between the more traditional solid tube appearance to the more contemporary open truss scopes.

Hickny may come and help out hopefully.

We'll see how it goes in a couple of weeks time.

Mental.
