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

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.

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.

No worries Paul, you'll just have to bring them out to Mallanganee
lookout next month if your available.
I hope it does rain, I need water in the tanks. Although the clouds could
of given this weekend a miss.

Just wanted to add my thanks for last night Glen, Graham and Rob. It was a great night in spite of the cloud and I feel really lucky to have hooked up with you all! I will continue producing munchies as long as you guys keep the scopes rolling out!!

Thanks Rob,
