Hi all.

Sounds good for the 25th to me, but my scope is playing up.
It cant find the GPS sattellites anymore

Allignment without a GPS maybe difficult.
Maybe its time for a BINTEL service ( or a new scope

)

We need a good night.

Can anyone point me to the site location etc? Depending on how far it is from Bateau Bay I might pop by when I'm staying at my parents place up there next weekend.

Cheers
Steffen.

Join me anyone?

Sorry Allan, I didnt see your post till now at 9.23.
I have work tomorrow anyway, so its difficult to get there suring the week.

If you get a sky like I am seeing from my place, I can see the "EMU" and it should be good.

Enjoy.

Geoffro.

It was sooo GoooD !

Clubhouse looks complete.

The bad news is that our key doesn't fit any of the doors.
At least it still opens the gate

Neither can I, it's called old age

I hope to get out there for a short while this coming Saturday. I think Andrew Murrell is coming also. Rod is in France. I will ring Gary K in the next day or so and see if he can make it.

Cheers,
John B

bahoogas (James) · #16 21-06-2011, 07:36 PM

I can make both days, for what it's worth.

Could try and put the tube on upside down....I 'spose.....then lie on the ground to peer through the eye piece....

Zincberg (Andrew) · #18 22-06-2011, 04:19 PM

I should be able to do either... or both nights.

bones · #19 22-06-2011, 06:32 PM

I know it's been a while since I've been to the PC. I think the last time I went there was still the old clubhouse.

Knowing my luck Mr Owl will want me to "renew my membership". (Newcomers don't worry there isn't one).

I'll try and get there for a while this weekend. Is access to AC power available yet from the new clubhouse?

Tony.

See my clubhouse status report Tony.
Hope to see you there Saturday (I am a probable starter - if in the area)
