PC November
Anybody interested in a night at the Pony Club on 10th November? Or an alternative on the 17th?

I keen for either.
Just got the SDM back on the road with it's new silver coated
Mark Suchting mirror and a heap of Peter Reid's mods to bring it up to 2012 specs.
Would you believe motorised primary collimation via a wired hand controller.
A bit of overkill for a 14.5 but anyone using a ladder at their new SDM
is really going to appreciate this standard feature.
Greg.

Hi Rick
Long time no see.
But as you know i am en route to Cairns.
Hopefully we can get together one last time before the end of the world, as we know it.
So start the guys thinking about a PC Christmas session, hopefully before the 21st big bang
Hope you have good night

Keen to go if the weather plays ball. Not heading up the top end for the eclipse. Good luck to those making the trip.

according to the PC calender they have an event on to-day
but nothing to-morrow - so we should be ok if the cloud goes away

Being optimistic, I thought it may have cleared by now, but alas I have not seen any blue stuff this arvo and the prognosis is more of the same according to forecasts. 
So I too am going to pass up tonight and maybe hope that next weekend is more favorable. Damn, foiled again.

If it makes you feel any better, it is a grey out here in FNQ also.

I'm sure you are doing it tough up there Allan. 
What's the forecast for the eclipse?

Gloom.
But if you get one chance you gotta go for it. Right?
Looking forward to Meeting some IISers at least.

Sorry Rick
Wedding on the 17th.
Did Geoff mention that Chaffey Dam site to you, looks like a great place for an astonomical sabatical. We can camp within 20 mts of the water. We are going to peruse it again soon, Geoff said him and Karen might come up for an overnight run and stop in the pub. Don't know if you and Lyn might be interested also.
Its futher than bretti but it looks great, freezing in winter though i believe, Jacob i think knows the spot, just have to ask Allan if he knows it also
