Will check with family and work.

Let's put this on a patriotic level: to the tune of Waltzing McTilda:

"Takin' a sickie,
Takin' a sickie,
Who'll be a'takin' a sickie with me?
For the stars will be shining
On TenChain Hill Observatory
So who'll take a Sickie
on Monday with me????"

All together now!

I am not 100% sure that I would write off Saturday night just yet.

Sunday night is an interesting proposition though - not sure how that one would fly on the home front....?

RobF (Rob) · #**943** 25-11-2011, 08:25 PM

The BOM models don't show the fine cloud after the muck coming through tomorrow clearing until about midday Sun though Adam. Sun still looking a far better proposition at this stage. I'm planning for Sun at this stage if the gate is open

My only night is Saturday, I'll cross the fingers but won't be surprised if you call it off

Geoff

My fingers are crossed, too Geoff!

It's just on 2 a.m. here and I've been chasing glory holes for a couple of hours now - with mixed success. Seeing is rubbish but I wanted to get a handle on this new scope and focuser so it was worth the effort.

I won't call tomorrow night off. I'll leave it up to you guys to flip a coin and take your chances. I agree that Sunday probably looks better but this stuff does look like it might clear up late tomorrow so who knows???

well I am keeping my options open for Saturday night, but on the other hand, Sunday night is looking like it might be a possibility. It would still be a school night for me - have to do a few hours at work on Monday morning, and still be back home to do the kids school stuff. So if I can get some sleep in between imaging runs, I can get up at 5am and get back home in time....just.

I may be able to do Sunday Peter. I'll try and behave at the xmas party tonight.

Not to keen on Ipswich Road during peak on a Monday morning though

Might require a sleep in

Pete

Not going to bother tonight(sat) the clouds are too thick.

I hope it clears for those going Sun Night

Cheers

adman (Adam) · #**950** 27-11-2011, 12:41 PM

well, I am packed and ready to go. I will probably leave here around 3:00-3:30 which means 4:00 - 5:00 at Peters place.

Who else is up for it?

Adam

Tandum (Robin) · #**951** 27-11-2011, 12:56 PM

I also have the scopes jammed in the car, see ya there Adam.

RickS (Rick) · #**952** 27-11-2011, 01:00 PM

Good luck, chaps! I have tickets to see Eddie Izzard tonight...

RobF (Rob) · #**953** 27-11-2011, 01:08 PM

I'm in! See you all there later. Fingers crossed.

jjjnettie (Jeanette) · #**954** 27-11-2011, 01:39 PM

I'll be there in spirit. I'll set up here at home. Albeit slowly.
Have a fab night you guys.

ozstronomer (Geoff) · #**955** 27-11-2011, 02:00 PM

Looks like it's shaping up for a good night guys. I'm staying put in Brissy catch everyone next time

Geoff

Hi JJJ
There's a few of us misbehaving happily. Sure is a good one isn't it! About time too. Glad to hear you're having fun too. Adam is about to steal some of YOUR photons though......

jjjnettie (Jeanette) · #**958** 28-11-2011, 01:42 AM

The seeing has been getting betterer and betterer all night.
Reckon Adam should NOT go to Orion, and do some Planetary work instead.

Looking forward to seeing the results Pete.
I've pulled the pin. I wish I could have stayed up all night. But well.....I need the beauty sleep.
But I have 3.5hrs of data to work on tomorrow. woo hoo
Enjoy the rest of the morning.
