The wind's died down.
I suppose there's always a chance it will clear later on.

The trailer is packed. I don't have a proper tarp for it, and I don't want to get the Mary Rose caught in the rain, I will hold back half an hour and see how it is about 6.45pm. Fingers crossed it may improve.

I have just spoken to RB. He advises the conditions, if anything, are worsening. Looks like a night in. Bugger.

Geoff, if there was a way I could call you to let you know....you'll have to give me your ph # sometime.

Glad to hear you are not still out there Geoff. What a shame. Perhaps all that talk of Ethos eyepieces was all too much for the astronomy gods to tolerate??

I caught up on some much needed sleep last night after two back to back all-nighters on Thu/Fri.

Yeah might have to look at the Pony club Geoff for next week.
