About 30 people turned up. We had 4 scopes. EQ5 mounted 8" Skywatcher Mak, 8" Bintel Dob, Tantalus, and a 6" Skywatcher on a home built Dob mount. Appart from the moon we caught glimpses of Venus and Jupiter through the clouds. The visitors were quite impressed by what they saw. Lots of questions were asked and answered and generally all had a good time. It was great to chew the fat afterwards over a meal as well. Until next time.
