2041 - that's advance notice for you.

Also, it's looking like extremely hot weather conditions. I think I'll be hiding in A/C.

Heh, it's not worth setting up in the backyard at the moment as the xmas lights from the neighbours are beyond belief. Well, also I haven't seen much clear sky lately either and skippysky isn't looking so great over the next few days too.

And I can't manage a night away at the moment as I haven't sorted out the new laptop's power needs (about 3hrs on internal battery).

Usual First World Problems to deal with, so as I watch the clouds roll over, I'll hide in the A/C.

Chris, I am first world here at Cambroon, I do have power,don't rely on candles for light or rubbing sticks together to get fire to do my cooking.
Most people who visit and run first world equipment, supplement their requirements by plugging into my external plugs.
Who knows what the weather will be like on Saturday,? I don't
Might drag you up here one day too woop woop.
Cheers

lol, nice - all the creature comforts!

And maybe I will visit - I'm going to visit Peter's site soon as it's nearer to me (I'm in the SW of Brisbane), but I travel to the Sunshine Coast at times, so you're in striking distance.

Am looking at an upgrade of an eye piece around the 20 -26mm range. Would anyone coming tonight have a televue Nag or Pan in this range I could try??Nothing like trying before buying as I couldn't get an Ethos to focus so glad I didn't "waste" dollars!!

[Zubenel (Wes)]

If peeps are concerned about the temperature just arrive around sun set as the moon doesn't go down until 20:58 It drops 10 degrees as soon as the sun disappears.

[lazjen (Chris)]

Good luck to you - the clouds are starting to form again around Brisbane...

EDIT (20:45): And now it's clear - can't win. I guess I need a permanent setup...

Hi Ron,
Sorry I couldn't make Cambroon this time, we have been moving house. Would have been very unpopular at home to be MIA for the packing. Hope to see you next month. I have moved from where I had one street light 500 metres away to three close enough to spit on. Not happy.
