Still enjoy the company guys! That the best thing about star parties anyway.. Catching up with old mates & making new ones.. Have a

Ok I just bought an SBIG ST4, a kendrick dew strap, a meade 1a SCT filter dust seal, a camera sensor cleaning kit, oh an a lottery ticket

[1ponders] (Paul) · #14 28-10-2005, 11:17 PM

Then why is the cloud moving back in here? You didn't get it sent to the Snake Valley Post Office did you so Mike could bring them back for you?

The lottery ticket did it Dave, the weathers' anticipating what you'd buy with the winnings.

C'mon guys we're not wishing hard enough for them

h0ughy (David) · #19 29-10-2005, 12:42 PM

I am trying to get my fan on the roof to blow the clouds away, I don't want it here either.

[1ponders] (Paul) · #20 29-10-2005, 12:45 PM

I'd gladly take it for 'em , just to ensure a good weekend for the inaugural get together (oh and I've volunteered to do a sky tour for a group of astrologers tonight and I'd much rather go to Ron's place

)
