Hi Shelly,look forward to hopefully catching up this weekend

I have a spare bedroom with only a single bed but you can put one of my spare mattresses on the floor or there is a double bed pull out couch in the lounge whichever you prefare

the bed has sheets and I can provide for the other things or you can just bring a doona or something

Just bring a pillar and some sleeping gear.

A chair and something to eat and drink plus some warm clothes and good foot ware and of course your scope

Cheers

Hey Ron. I'm Shelley's friend coming along for a good night and hopefully some clear skies.

Are there any problems with road access due to all the rain lately?

shelltree (Shelley) · #5 04-01-2011, 07:11 PM

Ooooops, I'm a terrible friend, I didn't even say you were a member of IIS!

Cherie has been kind enough to loan me her 10" Dob "Pavo" for the past few months

Ron, I don't mind just a mattress on the floor so long as we have somewhere to keep warm and get some shut eye

I will bring bedding for both mattresses for Cherie and I as it will also be handy padding to put around the scope for the journey.

How has the weather been at Cambroon? The skies seem to clear up quite a bit in the afternoon here so I'm hoping it's the same at your place Ron. Looking forward to a great night

Cherie there are no problems with the roads to Cambroon and with a bit of luck and some warm weather the place will have really dried out by Saturday

It will be good to catch up with you and Shelly fingers crossed for some nice clear dark sky's
Cheers

The weather has been getting better during the day,but then when it gets dark the clouds roll in, but we hope and pray for a good night on Saturday

Cheers

Fingers crossed you get some clear skies guys. I'd love to get up there again to try out my new 12" Dob (got to see Ponders new setup as well) but can't make it this weekend unfortunately

Happy New Year Ron!

Wow... there's a few litres of water running through there...

Won't be able to make it unfortunately, but hope it clears up for you guys.

shelltree (Shelley) · #13 07-01-2011, 09:44 AM

Looks like this Saturday is going to be a no go, it won't stop raining

And it is the last time for a long time I'll have a scope to use under dark skies

Not happy Jan

Nortilus (Josh) · #14 07-01-2011, 10:19 AM

I would certainly be interested in coming along to one of these nights, as I am recently relocated to Brisbane myself...will need to get my scope transported from Mackay first...
