Central Coast Pony Club Observing Night - 31st May

Hello again to one and all.

A suggestion for the 31st May ( Saturday ) just before the New Moon.
Or if the Weather is no good, we could try the weekend after on the 7th June ( Saturday ) .

There was a great turnout last time on the Mountain, so pencil the dates into your diaries for another night of great company.

And maybe I'll bring a little more coffee this time..... for those that missed out last time.

Ah......
Planning ahead !
As the scope is in pieces due to rust, this adds to the motivation to pull out the proverbial out for the next new moon.
Looking forward to skies better than my own backyard........

T-shirts

Hi Mike,
Could you bring a couple more T-shirts for me.
Another black one like last time, and a white one as well.
I will compare the sizes physically with the different shirts.

Thx.

I'm in also, and hangin' for a fix. (A cigar will also be tempting)
Deeno, a good way to blacken the tube is to just blow a few puffs of a stodgy up there and hey presto!
GTB -Can I order a pair of boots off you (take a size 12 shoe)
and pick them up on the night if you could bring some? Thanks.
Cheers Rick.

Thanks Geoff
Size 12 will probably be OK. Should be snug inside. Can you bring a 11 just in case my feet shrink (or stink) by then. Ta.
Cheers

Hey Geoff ( Mr Owl )

Can I return my boots for a refund.

They are too warm for my feet.

I am being spoilt this month...heading up to Coonabarabran with John B for some truly dark skies over the long weekend. Hope you guys have a good night, will hopefully see you in late June/early July.

That'll probably make Geoff M break out into a 'cold sweat', and it will be 'cold comfort' to think he might get 'cold feet' in doing that to his boots GTB.
I don't mean to be 'cold blooded' about all this Geoff M as you might give us the 'cold shoulder'.Sorry Geoff but we all know you to be a pretty 'cool' dude.
Cheers

Whats the long range weather forecast showing for Saturday 31st then ?

Geoff I am trying to talk the Wife into allowing me to get a freezer suit.
I imagine the Mountain will get pretty cold from now on....

Chasing some Hedghogs may help to keep us warm though.
