Ditto to all the above. I had a great allnighter at the PC once again and great to catch up with all the regulars and a big welcome to newcomers Andrew and Allan's son Steve and friend Liona.
Fabulous sky for a change and really got the 14" crankin'.
Like to take this opportunity once again to wish all fellow astronuts and families a great Christmas and New Year.



See ya all next year.
Cheers
PS So sorry to hear that news Jakob.

Thanks for clearing that up Jakob.
That new medication of Mr Owl's must be good, he swears blind he could see the pilot

Sorry to hear of your wife's loss. Amazing how deadly those ticks can be to a dog. Hope she doesn't let it spoil her Christmas.

It was great to catch up with you again.
See you again soon my friend, Merry Christmas.

Thanks heaps to everyone that was there. It was quite an eye opening experience.
I really walked away feeling welcome.. and learnt more than I can remember. Was awesome to see the differences with the eyepieces will definately be making a hefty upgrade before xmas!!
Only disappointment was to hear that it only generally happens once a month.. All things being equal, I will definately be there next time!

Thanks again all, really informative evening.

Andrew

Thanks everyone for a fun night.
Luckily the early mosquito attack did not last too long!
Rick's 14i and Joe's 21 Ethos both excellent.
The sky was very steady but quite soft at higher mags.
Wide views were very nice.

See you all next year,
Greg.

Thanks all to last night. The company and views at the PC were great as always. Seemed to improve as the night went on whilst I was there. I imagine it only got better after the moon went down.

Welcome again to Andrew (Zincberg).

Mr Owl, be happy as always.

Rick, new scope looks great - enjoy the views.

Greg, Jakob, Joe Allan, and everyone else, good to see you all again.

RB, I left just before 11pm (with a splitting headache, but it's better now). Was that you I passed on Wisemans Ferry Road? .

Till next year. Be safe and God bless all for Christmas & the new year .

Tony.

Tony, so sorry I missed you my friend, yes we must have crossed paths on Wisemans Ferry Rd.
Glad you got over your headache, they're terrible things aren't they?

Hope you & your family have a Blessed Christmas and a happy and safe New Year.
See you when we next meet at the Pony Club.
