I'm in.
I have missed a few gatherings of the Clan. So I better make an effort this time.

I will bring my little 10 inch finder-scope along. and try to mix with the big scopes.

My Android version of 7Timer suggests that it should fine up after about 10pm on Saturday night.

Fingers still in crossed mode.

Agree with both Geoff's, it is not looking good. bummer again.
Just had a shower of rain here and radar is showing that Mangrove Mtn has also been showering. Plenty of cloud and should be about till late, so not worth setting up a scope I guess, so I might have to put the feet up also.
Maybe next time eh.

We will have to start looking at Fridays too. (IMHO)
As predicted by 7timer, last night was pretty good here.
Seems to be a common theme, Friday good Saturday cr@p.

Bummer with the weather here. Just got back from SPSP this afternoon. Decided to return home due to an oncoming flu which was getting worse. Had a great night last night. I have posted a few PICs on the Nightscapes section.

Was looking forward to seeing a few stars here in London last might but midnight was still raining but clear now at 0600 hrs.

Will be back home for next star party at PC, hopefully
