Hi all, thought that we could follow suit and have our own little astro night here in Adelaide somewhere. I know of several spots are quite dark and reasonably close by to Adelaide. If you are interested I will set a date say in two weeks for a Saturday night and weather willing we can have a get together.

Let me know what you think.

I just noticed that the Astronomical Society of SA is holding viewing night on Sat 12th a couple of k's from my house, so I think I might pop into that for a while to say hi and see what it is all about. So i could turn up and meet ice in space locals late or similar. Or maybe next time.

I'll be in on that, now I know my 8" f/7 can fit into my Laser LXI.

Parsec, which viewing night on the 12th there are two, one at Stockport (members night) and one in the south (public)

I think that is at the Westminster School at Marion. Weather permitting I will definitely be there.

parsec · #7 28-02-2005, 07:47 PM

yeah Westminster, I live in marion so if you want a beer/ coffee before or after you are welcome here.

I might put it off till the following weekend. That way no society stuff is going to infringe. So say the weekend of the 19th March. Is that Ok?

You'll get a crescent moon then, but it should set fairly early in the evening.

Just been told by the chief that the weekend of the 19th is out, we are supposed to be going to the Barossa that weekend with a group on our annual wine weekend.

So can I once again put it off to the following weekend. Really sorry Guys. If this does not suit you guys go ahead and I will catch you next time.
