Pony Club Saturday 18th

I know that we are now all planning for a reunion night on the 15th September, but is anyone up for this month still, this Saturday?
Weather is looking promising and need a fix, and after the dreary days of late there should be plenty out there also needing to 'up scope'.

I have a new 50mm camera lens I want to try out under a dark sky so I will probably turn up.

Hey guys,
I am sure you will all be pleased to hear that I haven't even seen a cloud in the last 34 days.
Yes, thats right, since we left NSW.

Skies here are so clear.
Wish I had a telescope

Why didn't you take one? You could have mounted it on the roof...

I can not make it tomorrow night.
Looks like it will be clear but with a 20km/h westerly (cold!).
Have you worked out who has a key?
I think Shane has one on loan from Allan.
??

Greg.

Have been watching the forecasts pretty regularly and at this stage it seems like there is going to be high winds and some cloud as well.
I think I will make a later decision about 3:30 and check back in.

Guys I'm out, it's blowing a gale, clouds horizon to horizon and cold !!!
I'm not willing to risk getting sick again just as I'm getting back on my feet.

Hope the weather does settle and clear for you, we'll catch up next time.

Hi all, I am needed at home tonight. Unfortunately things are a bit grim at my place.....my wife has a serious medical condition, and is looking at a second round of surgery this coming week. For those who make it there tonight, I hope you have a good one.
