I have a luncheon to go to. This is something my wife has organised for me. I don't necessarily want to go. It is very rare that I let my wife organise any social event for me. I normally call the shots. Unfortunately, on this occasion I need to go to accumulate brownie points for something else I am about to "con" her on

Depending what time the luncheon finishes will determine if:-

a) I turn up at all
b) I turn up without a telescope
c) I turn up with the 18" Obsession.

I will be making my best efforts to get there.

Regardless as to whether I get out there on Saturday Night, I will be doing some observing between Xmas and New Year before the moon interferes.

I could be a starter for the 23rd if the weather is more co-operative this time.

Someone will need to bring a scope .....RB tells me that last week you guys were so unprepared for clear skies that when things cleared up you were limited to using binoculars!!!

Gavin, not until after Lostock. New moon in Feb 2007 is on Sunday 18 Feb. I'd reckon there will be a gathering on 17 February.

It seems a long way off......
