Excellent, should be able to get a couple of hours on it, fingers crossed.
Weather forecast looks good too, there's a big High heading east

[Xeelee (Chris)]

Spartacus and I will be there, weather permitting. Hope to see you all there.

Chris

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Excellent news! See you there.

Hi Ron,

Looks like I'm in for the weekend, and it looks like the weather is going to behave itself too, bonus. see you about three'ish (I need to do some collomation and other maintenance).

Cheers, Dennis.

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

I'll be arriving sometime after lunch.
Got the new scope today!
Got a bit of modification to do on her tomorrow arvo before she's ready to do some serious work. I will be taking her for a test drive tonight though.
It's like xmas today, unwrapping all the goodies I ordered.

Sadly not this year Paul.

[drmorbius (Randall)]

Bother... Sorry Ron, but I have to go to Brisbane (something different) and I doubt I'll be back in time to make it up there.

Hey Xeelee, sorry I'll miss you two... it's been a long time.

Dark skies everyone

[astroron (Ron)]

I am Sorry that you can't make it Randall, it would have been nice to catch up again

We would have loved to have you join us John and Anna
But we will remember your attendance from last month, and hope we will catch up again in the future

Hi Ron. Looks like you're going to have a great night tomorrow. I can't be there. Got a bunch of older folks from a nursing home on the coast coming out to have a night under the stars. My bit for IYA.
See you and all others on the 25th. All the signs are good for a great period of ovserving. Yahoo.

[RobF (Rob)]

I'm getting nervous about that band of cloud blowing up from the SW. Please please please blow through south of us......
Gosh I wish I could have got up there this evenin' Ron

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Rob, it's probably too late for tonight, but you're welcome to setup in my front paddock almost any night. The sky isn't quite as dark as Ron's, but dark just the same.
You can run a lead from the shed to power up your gear.
Les Behrens comes over occasionally too.

[RobF (Rob)]

Thanks Jeanette - got to be darker than the 'burbs!
Might just take you up on that some time. Fingers crossed for Sat......

[astroron (Ron)]

I hope all who come tomorrow will bring lots of warm clothes and Foot ware
Jupiter is fairly good tonight

[RobF (Rob)]

Got my M51 in the end, even if 101 eluded me this time. Fairly heroic processing - was below 10 degrees by the time these 4 x 5mins exposures. Lots of processing to deal with red from haze etc. Apologies to anyone within earshot for the ranting and raving while this was going on.

Yay!
