Sadly i wont be attending again.
My filters have deteriorated a lot over the past few weeks. Green filter is now out of action (flaking), lum isn't looking to good either.

Have to order new filters which will take a while.

Good luck all!

What size filters do you need? And what type. Most of us have usually got spares we could lend you. I have an old Meade LRGB set you can have ( 1 1/4 inch mounted)

My social secretary has booked me for a soirée at home this Saturday, unfortunately. Good luck with the weather!

Cheers,
Rick.

Hi Peter, looks like a wet wicket, been raining all morning here. The rain is predicted to ease but I think there will still be a lot of cloud around so I won't come up.

Cheers
Brett

Well, you can't predict these things but it is as clear as a bell up here, still, dark and I'm into what will probably be an all-nighter.
It's"one of those nights".

Bugger, I should have come up. It was quite windy here as well yesterday arvo as well as cloudy which was another reason I thought it would be a no go.

Hope you got some good stuff Peter.

Last NMN for 2013

Guys, the last few nights have been pretty darned magic up here - blowy at first but settling down nicely by 8 or thereabouts. This Saturday will still be pretty good with a moon 4 days old and well out of the way. Keep an eye on Skippy and cross those fingers.

Peter,

I have to be back for a lunch on Sunday but I might be able to squeeze a trip in. Would love to catch up and also grab a few more photons before the the end of the year...

Cheers,
Rick.

All the best all and a Happy Xmas. Drove past today on a family day trip and weather looks great. Can't come tonight but looking forward to seeing Peter and the gang when the planets align in 2014.

End of 13.

Well guys, another year bites the dust. A long coolish winter with heaps of clear skies. Not a lot since except this past few days which have been a delight up here. Thank you for your company and for passing on your skills and knowledge. I hope to see you all next year and wish you plenty of goodness over the festive season.
Peter
