Hi Rod,

Well a couple of the guys who have loaned me the eyepieces are happy for me to have them until the end of November, which is very kind of them.

I am returning from a few days at Coonabarabran on Wednesday 21st November. If you could do the Friday night (23rd) or Saturday night (24th) immediately after I return from Coonabarabran that would work well because the moon will be 8/9 days old then and offers good views of some very testing targets in an 80mm scope. eg The craterlets in Plato and the Alpine Valley.

Work on it and see if it can happen.

Cheers,
John B
