yep - you blokes just might get a night in
7timer looks reasonable
for the lights over the road - might be a couple of buckets in the club house if you don't take your own - the landing lights should go off on their own about 10-30 ?
if Geoff (gmb) doesn't get there, to turn the water on you need to turn the handle coming from the tank just outside the door to "inline" (in other words, same direction as pipe. then turn water pump switch on inside (near the stove) REMEMBER TO TURN THEM OFF WHEN LEAVING
hope you get a good night

Hi Arthur,
Absolute pleasure to help out.
Thanks for the grub and to the other guys present for making me welcome. Will definitely look at getting to lostock this year.
Cheers

Only six of us there, with one scopless, but with two imagers, one dob, one SCT and two 100BT binos there was a nice variety of views.
Thanks Arthur for the pies and use of the mount and Allan for the 100BTs.
Good to meet Robert for the first time.
sasup and Shane MIA.
Greg.

Well worth the trek last night.
Nice to see the PC serving up up some reasonable, steady dew free conditions.

It was good to get to the PC again (First time this year). Yeah I was the scopeless one, but that was on the basis that I couldn't be there too long (till 9pm) as my son came up to see what happens up there. Welcome to Robert . Whoever was firing the guns on the neighbouring properties frightened my son a bit.
Thanks to Robert, Deano and others for the views for us. The stars definitely looked steady from early in the evening and the sky clear whist we were there. It was cloudy at home when I got there. My son crashed out pretty quick when we got home.
I won't be at Lostock next month so I'll see you next time whenever that is. Take care all.

Good to see you guys have been getting some quality viewing in.
Can't wait till I get back home and get away from this northern hemisphere light pollution. I think America really needs to rethink their energy wastage!!! (so does australia!)
Other than that we have been having many clear skies here in Florida and getting around to see some great historical sights.
Cheers all.

I am sure we could look at the bottom of a beer bottle for him in his honour.

If you look through a beer bottle, to see the bottom, you would have to drink it first for me, and then another, and another, and....... 
I will be missing yawwwwwwll at the PC that's for sure considering I have my new toy and no scope to put it in.
