Bonjour Jean-Louis!

(apologies for my Franglais!!)

J'ai quarante-et-un ans aussi! Plus importante, je voyagerai en France en Juin cette annee!

Si tu voyagais a Sydney en Juillet, je pouvais (to show you) du (southern sky views) dans mon (20inch dob). Quelle domage!

Je spare voir (some dark skies) en France pendant Juin. J'arrive a Paris a Luna Nouvelle en 2 Juin pour cinq jours, puis je voyagerai a Bourges pour trois jours, puis a Provence pour deux semaines.

Je spare que tu as une bonne experience d'Australie!

Hello,

Rodstar, 4, 5, 6 July, we are in Sydney but I have already contact with Michael Chapman, president of club of Sydney. A evening observation is 4th July.

But, for another town, I have no contacts so I writed here for this.

Rodstar, do you want to observe the north sky with my club in June ?

I have 8 inch Celestron.

See you soon.

Rodstar (Rod) · #8 03-03-2011, 07:23 AM

Jean-Louis, I would LOVE to observe the north sky with your club.

Are you likely to be observing while I am in Paris (Thursday 2nd to Monday 6th June 2011)? Perhaps Saturday 4th June?

I look forward to hearing more.....

Jean-Louis,

That sounds like a fantastic trip!
You will be seeing more of Australia than many Australians have seen.

Cela ressemble à d'un voyage fantastique ! Vous verrez plus de l'Australie que beaucoup d'Australiens ont vu

In France, informations are difficult to find.

For Sydney, It's OK. I have contacted the president of club of Sydney.

Thank you for your help.

See you soon.
