27th sounds good to me. Will be away the following weekend (long weekend).

Hi All

I will be in Sydney (Darling Harbour) with the family on holidays over the weekend of the 27th and was wondering if anyone was planning on going up there from Sydney.... and if they had room for an extra bod and probably his camera gear (can't bring the scope down ) and wanted to split the fuel costs?

If so, let me know and we might be able to organise something

Hi All,

Can do 20th or 21st can't do 27th. It's my stepdaughters 30th birthday at the Cricketers Arms at Prospect. I'm in withdrawal but will set up at home on the 28th instead. Have a great night. See you at the one after!

Cheers Sue

Moon Rises 11.25 pm.

Only a few hours of dark observing by the look of it.

But some observing time is better than none....

Yes it should be.

I will wave to you all from my balcony on the "Sun Princess", as it sails past Broken Bay on the evening of Saturday 27th, with me aboard

I hope the weather holds out for you guys, but I will be elsewhere. I will see you all at Lostock at IISAC 2008.

Cheers,
John B

I'm considering it, RB. I also need to take a trip up to Lostock in the next week or three to make sure they haven't put any fences up where I don't expect them, and to work out where the marquee will go, etc.

I should be able to make the PC this Sat, would love to bring a scope along and do some observing.
I can't make Lostock with you (for company) within the next few weeks as work is very heavy ATM.
It does look like I'll make IISAC though with my girls, fingers crossed.
