Kulnura this weekend - 19th

Have got a leave pass to go to Kulnura this weekend for some dark sky observing.

I've emailed the froggy lord to make sure it's ok for us to use the site.. pending his affirmative reply, who else is coming?

I'll be there Mike and Geoff, subject only to weather and Sir Froggy's admission.

What's the bet it will be FREEZING, and I will rue the decision not to buy a freezer suit?!

Mike,

I'll be up at Mangrove Mountain airstrip tomorrow flying gliders, so if the weather is good after sun down I'll drop in for some viewing . Can you give me directions to your observing field ?

Geoff,

I'm in Sydney this weekend, but, I'm not sure if I can make it. I'm run down and need some time to relax and unwind. If I feel up to it, I'll try my best.

Regards,
Humayun
