I've had it circled on the calendar to attend.

The current weather forecast for Sydney on Friday is for showers and on
Saturday, possible showers in the morning and partly cloudy.
Winds 25km/h to 40km/h.
Sunday and Monday are also currently forecast to be partly cloudy.

7 Timer looks OK but mediocre transparency. Haven't been out in months so will take anything.
Good day for a BBQ at the PC ????

Yeah, I was looking at 7Timer... the radical shift in seeing by 8pm looks a little scary. I thought it might be mist or fog... if we think it's worth a go, I'm in!

I'll check in around 4pm and see if there is any news.

It seems to be looking more an d more promising as the day progresses.

Aside from hazy seeing and not-so-good transparency, it looks like it may be an ok night. Surely better than last month... it is really hard to see through thick cloud.

Bare in mind attendees, that the temp looks like it will be around 11 degrees by midnight. Come prepared.

Who has the garbage bag(s) for the toilet window?

I had thoughts of attending, but the weather is looking rather iffy from Pt Clare. Let's see how things pan out....

John Bambury was planning to come, but he has had to fill a shift at work at short notice. Hopefully another time John!

It's still hissing down here and 8/8 cloud, so I'm going to make other plans.

If tonight doesn't work out for you guys, I am around next weekend for another try. Cheers everyone.

Its just stopped raining here, and the sun is out intermittently, but rain radar still shows showers around Camden moving north. I am doubtful about good conditions tonight but maybe we need a report from further down around Gosford. Sort of leaning towards Allan's suggsstion of next weekend.

Hey,

It's been mostly sunny for a good chunk of today.

Astropanel is still showing the same forecast.

Are we still a go or no go for this evening?

Thanks

Rob
