Looks like I am probable out.
Bit too much of a gamble from Sydney.
Although...... might make a very late decision.

In light of the conditions I thought you needed a sacrificial lamb..., no luck for me..., no response at all as a matter of fact.

Well I just surfaced after a nearly allnighter (the alternative) if you know what I mean Joe.
We did get lucky and my scope got a taste of some good 'dark energy' and all I can say is Mmmmmmm!
Thanks to Geoff(owl), Geoff(Inmy), Joe and Al for another top night.
Christmas party at the PC (bring it on).

What a mixed bag, some of the most frustrating time and some of the best seeing in ages.

thanks to Geoff, Geoff, Ric, and Joe for your company.
Thanks to Ric for those great views with the new baby - Orion Rocks.

Glad you guys had a bit of luck.
Looks like 7Timer scores a few more points.
I see that the Jetstream for once was nowhere near Sydney.
Should of helped with the seeing I guess.

Greg.

Does this mean that you are now going to cross to the 'dark side'
and join 'dob alley'?
