Oh well maybe next time William.

Glen, I noticed a while back you were charting clear and cloudy skies
for the Casino area. May ask if you could send me a copy of your charts
for the last 2-3 years? if you have them.

regards,CS

Well it was my pleasure thats for sure ...
Numbers were up by 100% on our first meet thanks to Rob .
Apart from Gordon lighting bush fires every time he wandered off ,

all went well, the sky was pretty good later in the evening I felt and we saw some very faint objects..there was something I could not reliably say I could see .. but that was early and it was low .

Rob the Sun scope was excellent..I could spend all day on that. Love to do a movie thru it .

To see the effect of different EP,s and filters was great .

Thanks Glen for effectively doing most of the cleaning of the 12 inch ..you could notice the difference I reckon .

I have been working hard on the shed ... added another scope to the rig on the pier (70 x 600) so I get rid of that find the object problem .

Wired up with a new battery , got a 12 vlt hair dryer , wired in light, fan, winch, mount, and cooler unit ... only an inverter to go...$60... got 6 more wheels , 2x angle iron to fix the floor , and changing the winch set up .. the friction thing is not working well and is liable to snag ...so its a simple drag the hook out system or add another winch ...
So what have you guys been up to ?
alex

Yes, you are welcome to bring someone. Looks like Friday night might be cloudy and Saturday night might be clear.

Glen,

Whatever happened to that bloke that came out to Coombell ages ago. He
had built his own scope and I think lives in Casino.

Hi, anyone seen or heard of Alex lately? He seems very quiet, I'm hoping he is not sick, can anyone from up his way shed any light on his whereabouts?

Thnx.

Ron,

Not real sure mate, I'm hoping he will make an appearance @ north Casino
this weekend weather permitting. Apart from that if he is staying on his
property he has no access to the outside world. Either that or he's down
in Sydney being very busy.

regards,CS

Thanks mate, he is as you probably know on several lists and seems to have just vanished without indicating he was going to be missing for a week or so. Either myself and a couple of other forum owners have sent him PM's and as yet no response.

Of course it might all be perfectly cool and he might be doing some real estate stuff with his young bloke, time will tell
