i'll still be there, weather permitting.

my friend and his wife can't make it. ironically she started work about a week ago and someone/somehow broke her foot. so Shane has to stay home and look after his wife.

hmm. maybe i'll bring a chair this time

by the reports so far i don't think i will be going this weekend..... looks to rain and only get heavier.....

if for some freak occurance it completely fines up then i'll be there. but it's not looking too good at the moment....

i'll catch everyone at the next meet next month. hopefully we'll have good seeing by then.

Hey Ron,

If it's no good for tomorrow, what about next saturday the 24th? The new moon will only be a thin waxing and should set early (I am at work and dont have access to a chart so dont know exact times) so it could still be a good evening. What are your thoughts on this? If you are happy maybe everyone could re-schedule if possible and still make a good night of it?

Dennis.

The weather is not looking good for this weekend.... Maybe the 24th would be a better option for us all?

I think I will be out of the running for this weekend Both work and the dodgey weather.

I will be heading out to Leyburn next month and will be meeting up with the IIS guys from around Casino who are tripping up. Since Ron's it out, perhaps some of you might be interested in coming out there. I will post a seperate thread about this at a later date, but something to think about.

I wouldn't write off the weather just yet - there is still hope that the clouds will partly clear for tomorrow night.

and a mini-Astrofest in March at Leyburn sounds good....
