Graham,

You should be able to see Iridium 73's Luna transit on the 28/08/2007 too.

I put together an image of the event as if you were standing at the northern
end of the Missingham Bridge.

The same with you Alex, but I think you will probably have trees or hills in
the way with the Moon being low when it occurrs. If you can you will see
it just before me.

regards,CS

Bit off the subject but where do you class 'north casino' I lived a fair whack of my life in 'Bundocks Rd'. I actually smiled reading the entries cause they are all my old stomping grounds, that you guys are from, when i was a kid.

Forecast is looking good, do you want a ride from Casino Graham?
Saw M42, M45, M33 and M31 with the 20x80s this morning. Nice crescent moon too.

Just got up here, and must admit I'm a lil annoyed I didn't drag myself
out of bed earlier. The sky is beautifully clear : (

Yup weather is looking good for the weekend.

Let me know if you guy's want to stay over night and want a bed to use
I have two spare beds and a babies cot (if your a shorty lol). You might/will
want to bring a pillow and blankets.

regards,CS

Graham I will meet you at 6pm Friday at the 50kph sign coming into Casino from Lismore, same place as before. Is that OK? I can bring my 10" scope if you like. Don't worry about a bed for me Rob.

Well it's pretty clear here except for someone putting a match to something.
Hopefully it'll clear before dark.

Take care when entering the property, the access road has a few deep pot
holes at the start of it, probably best to keep left and drive slowly.
