Thanks Rob

Glen and I are going to Tenterfield today for a couple of days and then I plan to keep going south towards Coonabarabran.
Nice to catch up with you again Rob, sorry I cannot hang around till s

I hope we may see you at Astrofest next year or even up at my place.
Cheers
Ron

You are all welcome here tonight.
It gets dark at 20:20 so please come before that, maybe by 7:45.
It was -2 deg C at Tenterfield this morning, the ice was 3mm thick on Ron's basin of water. Great viewing but.

There is a fair bit of smoke around, but you can still come if you want to.

Good to hear I'm not the only one who ends up on that road coming home from Glen's!! Hope you had a chance to see something. Conditions Lismore way were very smoky and hazy with clouds now and then. Smoke from fires is buzzing me off. Hope it clears next week, I have a Nalger 17, 9 and 7 plus an Astronomik 2" UHC coming. Want clear skies to enjoy those beauties.

I hope it does rain, I need water in the tanks. Although the clouds could

Thanks Rob,
