Thanks a million Ron for letting us stay over. Sorry about the quagmire that was once your driveway.

Was too wet for me to make a move.
At least I got all the astro gear packed up before the 18th birthday next week-end.

Might be on the news after that one

Barambah in April ? The rain might stop by then .....

Yay Martin - be great if you can make it - I'm looking forward to a second go this weekend. And forecast good so far.....

Dave - shame won't be seeing you this month. Probably less chance of you being tempted by some new expensive evil toy mind you.....

Bring warm clothes a chair a scope or bino's food for the BBQ or microwave, drink.
If you want to stay the night? a sleeping bag,a tent or ma mattress on the floor.
The contact info is on the map in the sticky

Hi Ron,
hope the weather is a bit kinder for you guys this weekend. I'm in Malaysia until the 11 so I'll definitley miss it. Good news is I have given in an d bought a Canon 1000D. Yeah, yeah. I know but I couldn't help myself. I am just so keen to give that Live View function a run. I hope I will see you and any other Cambroonites who want to come down to the new observatory at Ten Chain Hill on March21st.

cheers.

Peter

Les, If possible, try to arrive a bit earlier, setting up in the dark can be difficult

I should be there by mid day Ron... I'll see you then..

Alex.

Looks like you're in for a near perfect nights viewing.
I've setup here at home, ready for when we get back.
Have a great time everyone!
