cheers, Sean

SEAN !!! Come star gaze with me. It's been years.

I should be able to make it Sarah, my flatmate's mum's sister's husband died, which means, I've been given a car for the week.

I'm keen to bring my little scope, but again, I know pretty much nothing, but do have a laptop with Stellarium. So better than nothing, and I'm happy to just look up and go "Ohhhhh".

I think we need Sean for his awesome knowledge, and THAT scope of his(well the one 3 years ago at the eclipse was awesome).

Conditions look ideal tonight, pretty good tomorrow night (Saturday) but horrible Sunday.

Neither my wife nor my friend would be able to attend if we did this tonight and I suspect the change of date might inconvenience others, so if I get a vote I say we continue with prior plans to hold it on Saturday night and we'll just have to hope the clouds on Saturday night aren't too bad.

How are you going? I can't make this night unfortunately as I'm moving house (a lot of fun I know...), but I'll try to make it to any other nights that are planned I still have the old dob but have since upgraded to a Meade LX90 12" which is incredible with dark skies and good conditions.

[SadisticSarz (Sara Freeman)]

Hi Everyone.

Thank you for replying to the Star Party. As the weather is great here with 20km wins blowing it looks like we are on for tonight. so for those coming and have already receive directions then we will see you here.

We have moved all the ponies out to our farm so you all want be interupted but nosey ponies.

Hi Guys

Sorry but the clouds won tonight. its pitch black out there....hope we can find another time

[SadisticSarz (Sara Freeman)]

Hi Guys

Thank you to everyone who made the trip to join our star party. Though the weather had won I am sure we can beat the weather again I think. Its clear skies now go figure right. but still thank you all

[Mokusatsu (Australia)]

Oh well. I did walk around the paddock, it looks like a good site for stargazing.

There'll always be another new moon next month...

It be cool too when you guys can come when there is a bit more light so you can scope out your area to set up. My family said its not being used for anything other then the 2 ponies having a bit of graze here and there but other than that its up for grabs for star gazing.

Astronomy and Murphy's Law go hand in hand It should start clearing up as it warms up soon but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

The next Saturday close to a new moon is Sat 12th Sept. If you want to try your luck again I'd love to come...
