Wind's up, cloud cover, chance of showers. Not the best prognosis, so I think I'll do some serious grovelling to build my level of brownie points for next weekend's trip to Lostock. No gravel rash, just a case of 'ricky dicky knee'.
That's my story anyway and I'm stickin' with it.
Cheers

Looks dodgy from here too.

I'll have a night in I think, with a movie huddled on the lounge with the wife.

I'm at Palm Beach and things are going down hill fast but got the scope outside cooling down just in case.
Plenty of beer in the fridge, could be a long night.
I love saturday nights and my telescopes.

I just drove up from Sydney
it has been glorious all the way up the FF3...
Until here!!

I see a big bank of clouds to the north,

Which way is it blowing??

I am still keen to give it a go.

But its getting late now and I have not yet begun to commence my grovelling.

If I get out quick, She (who must be obeyed) may not even notice I have been back !!

But I dont have a key (as yet !! (hint!)

Give me an excuse to start packing the new equipment into the car.
someone.

GTB - bring up some freezer suits for me to try on.
I may need it for Lostock!!!

Boy I never knew Owls were stubborn !!!

Just did a visual and I can now appreciate your position.

I concede that it is unlikely to produce any quality time.

D'oh!

I cant believe it....I walked outside and I cant see any clouds from here.
What have I done by staying Home ?

It'd take too much to unpack the van of tools and parts to fit the scope in now anyway.

Those who ventured up, I hope you have a great time.

Geoffro.

Just got back, skies were clear & seeing was also good for a while, bit of cloud toward the end. Geoff had a 13" dob,got some nice views. Only 3 hours or so but worth it.
Thanks for the views Geoff

Glad you had a good time there.

My turn will be next weekend at Lostock.
