A very enjoyable night I thought despite the persistent clouds and dew. Some good viewing though earlier in the night.
Great as always to catch up with everyone and meet a few of the locals from the light source across the road. I think they now have an understanding of what we do and an appreciation of the dark sky we seek.
Nice also to meet Deeno's friends, Dave and Belinda, and demonstrate some of the jewels up there. Maybe future recruits?
Thanks Geoff for the loan of the battery and for all the goodies.
Hope you enjoyed the birthday cake RB.
Does anyone know if Deeno woke up before sunup???????? or is he still there?
Looking forward to next one.
Cheers Rick.

It was great to catch up with everyone.
Good to have a break, take some time out from work and enjoy an evening with good friends.

I want to thank Geoff the owl for surprising me with a lovely birthday cake complete with candles.
You're a legend mate !
And I was touched by everyones birthday wishes, thanks everyone, you guys are terrific.

The views we had were lovely even though the evening was cut short due to the weather change.
And of course since the weather deteriorated, I enjoyed passing on some of my knowledge about Cuban Cigars to anyone game enough to lend me their ear.

Once again a big thank you to all for making the evening such a great time for me, I hope you guys get better weather next week.

Cheers

Fancy Deeno sleeping on us! He'll just have to give up playing cricket on Saturdays. I think he's gettin' to old for it.
Well' I'm now off to Tassie until Saturday so I hope everyone has clear skies next Sat night.
Cheers
