Phil

I think we all need to appease the Weather Gods with a few (telescopic) sacrifices.

At least it was good to get up to the PC last weekend, set up the scope, do alignment, then wait for it to clear (which never happened)!

Talk about unlucky...
18 July No1 son birthday
25 July No2 son birthday.

Hmmm!
Maybe I can talk them into celebrating out with their mates !!!

I don't have a chance..

18th I'll be up at Parkes, and the week before I'll have been up at Brisbane for work for 5 days.

So the weekend after (25th), I'll be instructed to stay home

Looking forward to sat

I hope to be there on the 18th.
On the 25th might try to get to Wiruna and give the freezer suit a workout.

Greg.
