The low up the north coast feels like its already kicking off
gusts up around 40 k tonight .. dont right off a little clear weather just yet .. we are going to suck a lot of cloud up our way.. heard a Girl at work today mention SES warnings predicting 250 mm and up ..hope its all good for you .
Is there anyone coming who can loan me a timer remote for a Canon 20D?
I've ordered one but it's not likely to arrive in time!
Got one I'm not using with a 5m cable. You can use it for the whole duraton of the SPSP. It's a standard Canon Remote so I assume it works with all models?
Oh, believe me, I intend to take more than one or two bottles, and a lot more if it rains.
The girl friend is coming so if it rains I'll be listening to a lot of crying about how cold and wet it is. Luckily I have a trailer tent so heating it up is easy.
I see from the ASNSW website that SPSP next year is also listed to take place in May.
I'd be interested to learn why there has been a return to May. The first few years of SPSP in the 90s were held in May, and over time we appreciated the issues regarding holding it in May - hence the move to an earlier and warmer period in the late 90s onwards.
Driving from Melbourne is a big gamble, I will have to leave the decision to Thursday Morning. After the ISSAC washout last year, it makes it a costly trip - still had a good time though.
FYI : The weblink above usually has a good accuracy for the 3 day outlook, better than the BOM source of data.
Hope to still see you there Dave.. I know it's a long way for you, but it'd be great to catch up. Here's hoping the weather changes....
Looks like we are still coming, Chris save me a spot – assume your in the imaging area?
I am coming with another MPAS (Mornington Peninsular Astro Society) member - he is keen wet or dry!

Yep Dave - I'll save you a spot. I'll be there Friday morning, so what do you need - a single car spot? I take it you'll be bringing a tent if there are two of you.... ?
Being an optimist I am encouraged by the BOM forecast for the district (refer attached). But, agre that there will be enough fellowship and activities to hold interest regardless. Good to just get away!
Gloomy outlook
