Pony Club 11 Dec

[Allan_L (Allan)]

Weather has been bad for a while now,
But there's a rumour of something to come
Clarity!
So
there could be another trip to the Pony Club this weekend if it comes to pass.
A few of us expressed interest to try to make it.
Watch this space.

Looks like the jet stream is back.
During all this rainy weather it was taking a sharp right before reaching Sydney.

if the weather is fine: 95% chance of being present
if the weather not fine: 95% chance of not being present

[Zincberg (Andrew)]

Ok, Im a little confused, just got up and looked out the window, there appears to be a really strange phenominon outside. (see my picture, aiming in the direction of mangrove mountain)

Whats all that blue stuff? Will I still be able to see anything if I come tonight without all the clouds around?????

fingers crossed that I havent know totally jinxed the whole night.

What time do you guys go up?..and do I need to bring anything other than my "viewing tools"?

[Allan_L (Allan)]

Hi Andrew,
Hope you can make it tonight.
Yes that blue stuff may scare a few regulars away!

Tonight the sun will set at 7:59.
It is a good idea to try to arrive a little before this to allow you to get the lie of the land and set up in the light.

The other factor is Moonset is not until 11:48. That may delay some people from arriving too early, but as it still should be a crescent moon it should not be too bright.

I expect some will arrive around 6:30 (please confirm guys).

I will probably aim to get there between 7:30 and 8:00.

You don't have to bring anything other than astro gear, but most people try to bring something tasty to share with everyone. Be it Tim Tams. Party Pies. or Mr Owls favourite crackers ( ). There is usually tea/coffee making facilities on hand or you can bring your own favourite beverage if you like. There are refrigerators.

Oh, and a red light if you have one.
