Pony Club in June

Hi all.
Just starting a thread to see all those going to next Pony Club viewing night.
As new moon on 23 June, I guess we could go on the Sat 20th June or if dicky weather, a back up date for maybe the 27th. Considering the amount of limited viewing lately there should be a record crowd at our next meet.
Cheers Rick

After recent new moon disappointments at more distant sites, I am looking forward to one a bit closer to home! (viewing session that is, not dissapointment hehe!)

Count me in as a definite starter ! (subject to weather; wife; etc)

I set up my scope on the balcony last night just to see if I could remember how to do it.
I must admit that it is a lot easier when you can see what you are doing because of the full moon.
Didn't actually get to see too many astronomical things though but it felt pretty good.
Hope to see everyone at the PC.

Frank

Is next sat (20/6) a goer

Is anybody looking at next sat night (20/6/) as a night up the mountain, will probably get there if there are a few going.

Want to try some new imaging software that i bought for the Mac called Nebulosity: anybody heard of it??

I hope the Pony Club turns up some good weather for you Trent on your first visit.
Having said that, a look at the long range indicates that it could be an each way bet.
Don't get me wrong, but the forecast may get better close to the day, as we've said this before and it's turned out great for those that have hung on.
Can I be so bold as to say in the words of a wise old "it will clear,trust me"
Cheers
