Thanks for the introduction last night. Was great to look through some other scopes and have some help identifying the features of the night sky. Hope you all enjoyed the rest of the night after I left!

Sorry I missed last night again Geoff/guys.
I finished work too late and was too exhausted to come out.

Glad to hear you guys a good night.
Hopefully catch up next time.

Rick you'll have to keep the stoggies for our next meet.

Cheers

Sorry to hear that Geoff!

although, the first time I read your post I thought it read:
"I will BRING the Port".
(funny how your mind can play tricks on ya !)
wishful thinking !

Then, re-reading it.......
I got this image of you in a pure white sailor suit !!!
Hello Sailor !

... Anyway, catch you at IISAC.
Have you decided camping or bunking ?
haha ... C A M P i n g ... or bunking ?
... Another Sailor joke !!!

so, let us know...
as I can go either way!
(haha I'm in tears now ... )

[Inmykombi (Geoff)]

Sounds good for Saturday night Alan.

With regard to IISAC........we could bunk up at the top house

It may be viewed as a bit anti-social by others tenting and caravaning it down below.

What do you think ?



PS....Good to hear your are bringing some Port Saturday night Geoff....



UPDATE: I have caught my son's Flu it seems , so I may not be coming after all.
Unless I feel a lot better between now and Sat night I will have to give it a miss. Sorry folks.

Geoffro.

[Arthur Alchin (Arthur Alchin)]

sorry, won't be at the PC this sat nite, on call for the hosp until 19:00 hrs so wouldn't get there till at least 20:00 at the earliest.

At IIS i will be camping down where we were last year so might have to come up and visit those in the top house

[Allan_L (Allan)]

It is looking promising for tonight.

I am expecting to be there around 5pm.
Probably won't stay too long tonight.
Anyone else wanting to come along?

[Inmykombi (Geoff)]

I have come down with flu like symptoms. Must have caught it from my Son.

Sorry but I am feeling like @#$% at present and wont be coming up tonight.
Sorry folks.

Geoffro

[Allan_L (Allan)]

Well, I'm packed anyway!
So I may as well go as expected.
Looks like a good night.

But if its just me and the hounds
I may be calling it a night early.

Anyone in the neighbourhood, drop on in.....

[Allan_L (Allan)]

Skies were great at the Pony Club last night.
And no dew.
Would have been nice to share with somebody.

[astropolak (Joe)]

Hi Allan
No one else?...., I intended to go last night but the sky line here was littered with clouds and decided to give it up.

Glad you had some nice views and sorry for not joining you.

[Inmykombi (Geoff)]

So sorry Alan for not going.
I rested and still feel terrible today.
I may even have the day off work tomorrow.

Glad the skies were kind to you and therer was no Dew....
Congrats on your Retirement too. I can see more Star trips in the planning stages already.

See ya soon somewhere.

Geoffro.

[GTB_an_Owl (Geoff)]

what time did you stay till Al ?

geoff

[Allan_L (Allan)]

Well,
since I didn't take a telescope (only the BT100s)
and
I was cold and lonely (forgot my jacket)
I waited to see if anyone was coming after moon-set,
and I was out of there before 10.

Joanne did not recognise me !!!
(remind me to remove the belaclava next time)

[jakob]

Sorry, Allan, I had in mind to go but by the time I finished my chores, I was too lazy!

The Port was ready and I intended just to bring the apo80 plus camera.

We have to finish the Port at Lostock!
