Seriously, with the weather looking so promising I'm not sure what would be best to bring  there's room for more than one if I pack carefully

the sad thing is I think I've taken it almost every session so far, but not taken the lens cap off it's seen photons in the garden here though, such a great little scope for a quick look, although it normally ends up a longer look

Yeah I think you're right Adrian the 11 would have ended up being the default choice, last in the cupboard, first out although the 8 is feeling distinctly sorry for itself at this point
Look forward to seeing your AR 
I should add that I've got a very mild case of the lurgi so I probably won't be up for an all nighter

No Worries.
The weather conditions are looking so good - at least according to 7 timer I think I'll bring the 12" after all.

Just looked at skippysky...it's showing a seeing of 9 for 23:00 and 8 at 02:00, 80% transparency throughout.
Not sure it's looked that good since I've been here

We might have a couple of new people as well. I hope the conditions stay true. Should prove to be a cracker of a night.
