I am a definite tentative.

(After spending Joanne's birthday at IISAC while she was working... I am not too sure of anything for a while. I am already working off the penance.
So far, mowed lawn, dried dishes, hung out washing, brought in washing, made dinner, folded washing, helped formatting assignment, printed and collated assignment, and made 11 cups of tea. And thats just the first 24 hours!)
At this rate I hope to be fully paid up by November.
What do you reckon?

Good thing I stopped at the Oaks for a break on the way home from IISAC. (yes, I led Geoffro on another shortcut!!! - will he ever learn )
They had Sunday markets, which reminded me I did not have a present yet, and I was able to buy here a couple of nice plants. (She is doing horticulture at tech and Orchids are her passion)

OOPs Gotta Go. Time to make another cuppa!

Weather dependent, I should be there.

Should have the new scope also, so this might affect the viewing, due to cloud. Getting it this week, so hopefully the associated cloud comes during the current waxing moon ...

New scope arrived yesterday and assembled today.
Looking forward to giving her a full workout.
Weather permitting I am a definite maybe.
The next week though I'm expecting rain, as you do after a scope purchase, so you can blame me if the weather is cactus???????

not only that Peter - we get to see it naked eye

occasionally (well most of the time actually) - we get to look at the fridge and the pie oven as well

and when we have run out of beer - we have even been known to look at the moon

why don't you come up and have a look for yourself ?

but then again - just how far south of sydney are you ?
your showing 153 km from here ? (Terrigal that is)

I'm in the northern suburbs of Sydney and my 12" dob is pining for some dark horses! Where are the ponies located exactly?

Actually I can't make it on Nov 6 anyway, but perhaps the following lunation.

Hi Peter,
There is a thread with travel details at the top of this forum in the "sticky" area.

Basically, it is Wisemans Ferry Road Mangrove Mountain.
Between 10 and 30 of us generally meet on a Saturday nearest the new moon each month.

Skies are fairly dark, but it can get a bit dewy at times.
Everyone is welcome.
Watch for a thread each month with the details.
Look forward to seeing you there in the near future.
