RB...yeah, was still thick with cloud at Pt Clare at 3am...so I went straight back to the land of nod.

Iceman....that sounds like a plan to me! We could do some lunar observing while waiting for things to darken up a bit?? If we don't go out next weekend, then SPSP15 will be the first chance I have to observe under dark skies with my new girl.

Further to my previous post, I wonder if it might be an idea to look at a Friday night observing session this coming week, instead of Saturday? New moon is today, so we will be up to a 5.5 day moon by Friday, setting at about 11.20pm. That should leave us some solid time for some dark sky work, and also the opportunity, if the weather is nasty, to have Saturday as a fall-back.

What do you all think? It is easy for me because I work from home on Fridays. I guess for some of us, it could be a real problem to come after work??

You guys name the day(night) and I'll be there.
Surely we can get one clear night to dance with the new girl.

Next friday is fine for me.
See ya

yep - friday could be a goer here - saturday as a fall-back a good plan

a little lunar observing never hurt anyone - besides it will provide a little light for the late comers to set up in

friday weather outlook is positive at the moment according to Dweather

I'll speak to Kate but sounds fine to me.

Sounds like a cunning plan.......

SWMBO informs me that Friday is far better than Saturday for her, so can I be so bold as to say "Friday it is"????

[RB (Andrew)]

Friday's better for me too, it's my daughter Elizabeth's birthday on Saturday.
We need to check with Froggy first though.

Can't make either day (Friday or Saturday) this week...looks like SPSP before I can see Rod's new toy
