i should be there.. weather permitting.
if it's alright i'll be bringing a friend and his wife along.. he's a mad astronomer, but been out of the game for several years. he doesn't have his own telescope, but i'm sure if it's like my first experience out there he'll be looking through everyone elses scopes more than my own

I may be able to make it... Depends on Work.

After the great views we had between the clouds last time I'm keen to have another go!

Dave.

At last! There's a fighting chance that I may be able to make my first visit to Cambroon

With any luck, I'll bring the dob in my AstroVan

I am a fair chance to make it up Ron - so long as work doesn't get in the way. Will be able to confirm next week.

Odlaw - I have Lumicon UHC, Astronomiks OIII in 1.25" format and a DGM NPB (UHC like) and Sirius Optics NEB1 in the 2" format.

Ron it seems my roster has won out after all - I'm down for overnight shifts across the weekend and the only person with whom I can usually swap is away himself for 4 days.

I'll be in touch again beforehand Ron but are you likely to be home the following Monday afternoon / night, and moreover do you think you might be up for some obseving company again then? I realise that might make 3 nights in a row for you so if it doesn't suit please say so - I have broad shoulders, I can handle it. :-)

Nightshift: Dennis is that you?? Glad to see you around again, such a shame I can't make Saturday and catch up with you!

Likewise Wes, Dave (Odlaw) etc. I am definitely in for next month again however, so maybe I'll see you guys then!
