Put me down for either weekend

Hope to see you all there so we can catch up

Chris

Excellent!
It's been far too long since we've caught up.
This weekend is looking betterer and betterer.

[1ponders] (Paul) · #65 20-02-2009, 01:48 PM

That's great Chris, it's been too long

jjjnettie (Jeanette) · #66 21-02-2009, 12:20 PM

Looks like good weather for a few drinkies and DVD's.
I'm just starting to pack now. I've made sure I've got those cards for you Ron.
Still taking the Astro gear, you never never know how things will pan out.
I'd be kicking myself if the clouds cleared.
Reckon I'll be there by mid afternoon.

AlexN · #67 21-02-2009, 12:25 PM

I should be there by 3~4pm... Unfortunately I have to work tomorrow, so It wont be a real long visit.. Just pop in to say hi..

Gargoyle_Steve (Steve) · #68 21-02-2009, 12:54 PM

Joy and I are heading up for the Social Factor .... bringing along the usual 3 pairs of bino's, plus the ED80 Pro, just in case of course

and our Comfy chairs!

Hope to see plenty of you there.

I'm coming for the night too. Can't make it before 6:30pm though.

Weather looks complex with a band of clouds sweeping through and afternoon/evening thunderclouds likely to form (and hopefully later disperse) - maybe a 40% chance of getting an hour or two of astronomy in here and there.

astroron (Ron) · #70 21-02-2009, 03:19 PM

I think that the conditions are not conducive for Astronomy ,It is quite wet underfoot,but as some people are already here and others are on their way I would suggest that if you can leave it till next weekend

We will still have a BBQ for those who turn up and if the weather improves I will get out the 16" for some observing

One thing I cannot control is the weather

I hope things improve for next week

AlexN · #71 21-02-2009, 03:32 PM

I'll be up for a visit this arvo Ron, and I'll be coming up next weekend too if I can..

See you within 2 hours...
Alex.

[1ponders] (Paul) · #72 21-02-2009, 04:19 PM

I'll be over shortly for a visit.

RobF (Rob) · #73 21-02-2009, 04:49 PM

I won't sue if its cloudy Ron. Promise to behave with my muddy feet too...

(still think we're goin' to see the odd star though...)

Xeelee (Chris) · #74 21-02-2009, 04:56 PM

Sadly, I won't be there this week as it doesn't look very good for astronomy. Hope to see you all next week and hope you all have a good night!

Chris

BerrieK · #75 21-02-2009, 05:09 PM

Wish I didnt live 1002 km and 14 hours drive away; it would be great to meet all you guys for real!

Hope you all have a great few weekends, muddy or not.

[1ponders] (Paul) · #76 21-02-2009, 05:21 PM

Actually Berrie it's not as far as you think. I'm only 854 km (Check to the right of your avatar - the distance reading) away from you and Ron is a few km closer. Mind you, still a bit of a jaunt for a weekend away

[1ponders] (Paul) · #77 21-02-2009, 05:25 PM

Whoops, sorry I meant check to the right of MY avatar

jjjnettie (Jeanette) · #78 22-02-2009, 08:53 PM

It may not have been the best of nights for Astronomy, but as a social event, it was tops.
We did get to see Comet Lulin naked eye, and there were quite a few meteors spotted. Not many by myself and Rob as we were the only ones actually at our scopes for most of the time.
Here's some piccies.
First is Peter, then Ron and his new camera, Steve and Joy and of course the Birthday Boy (Paul) in his new hat.

Thanks a million Ron for letting us stay over. Sorry about the quagmire that was once your driveway.

AlexN · #79 22-02-2009, 09:30 PM

Was good to see everyone again (even if my stay was only very brief

)

Fingers crossed for an all nighter next weekend.

Alex.

oh that hat of yours is priceless paul - does it keep the clouds away - nature has a way of avoiding things like that mate
