I will be in Coonabarabran for the whole Australia Day long weekend, but I hope you have some clear skies, hopefully I will be able to come to the February gathering.

Well the Pony Club is going to have a new SDM (although only a 14.5") and it is that weekend I have to go down to Vic. and pick it up.
So looks like Feb. for me as well.

Have a safe Trip, Greg. I am very excited to see your new baby as soon as she is safely back on the Central Coast.

The sudden lapse in decent weather conditions suddenly makes more sense.

For a moment there Greg I thought you were talking about mine.

I'm travelling down to Shepparton to pick mine up next week and may get up to the PC too that weekend

Hi Norm.
What are the chances of two 14.5s turning up at the same time!
Saw you on the list but did not realize you were so close.
Be interesting to compare scopes.

Rod, thanks.
Yes, maybe twin SDMs were just too much for the weather gods

Cheers,
Greg.

The more the merrier.

Bones....That's what we thought about the last PC and ask Deeno, RB, and H how the sky was later!!!after the cloud buzzed off.
Too early to tell yet about forecasts and we could share a little Oz day spirit anyway if we have to wait.( I think RB and H are going to open up a camera and imaging session in conjunction???????)
So we'll see you there Eh? (with scope)
