[sasup (Stacey)]

thanks Phil. not looking good for me, the in-laws are here.

[Amunous (Michael)]

what time is everyone looking at heading up?

[Zincberg (Andrew)]

I was hoping to be there around 7- 7:20.

[Shano592 (Shane)]

Similar for me.

Enough time to set everything up in the daylight.

[GTB_an_Owl (Geoff)]

i should be there just before 7pm

The cloud cover and forecast put me off guys, I hope that I was the sacrificial lamb which brought clear skies!! Hope to see you all next month.

6 intrepid souls made the journey to the PC last nite and were rewarded with a glorious hours viewing around 10pm
no trouble seeing six in the trap in the 8"
the same result from Carly's nice new bright and shiny 8" dob as well

unfortunately, 7timers prediction for the nite was far from accurate

closed the gate at midnite under full cloud and a fine misty rain.

Glad you guys got some viewing in after making the trek.
The weather has been really fickle lately.
How much longer do we have to wait for ol' La Nina to La Buzzoff?
Wonder if the guys at Bretti got some in?

[gb_astro]

Yes, disappointing.
I was late setting up.
Just got the alignment done when the stars disappeared.
Good to catch up on the latest tech with Andrew, Michael and Shane though.

Greg.

Note to all: You will see my post at about 9.30pm on the said night, indicating I was the sacrificial lamb.....note how things mysteriously cleared for some glorious viewing for an hour at 10pm....now we all know who to thank....

Seriously, glad you had some reward for your tenacity, guys. Better than a total wash-out.

Hope to see you all next month.
