Great idea for a new group and have posted a quick welcome message. The trouble is now, Where to find the group



OK

Oh I've found it. Click on 'Community' along the top address bar then click 'social groups'. Thats where we will be.

OK

On the bar under the SGL logo should be a tab called communities. Click on that then Social groups and it should be there!

Pipped you to the post there Steve. How you doin' ?

OK

Doing good ta, just a shame we didnt have this weather on saturday night! roll on darker nights lol

This is good. I have just sent you a message in the social group too.

Run the 2 groups for a while i suppose.

But in reply to your last post here Steve, the weather, or should i say skies, were pretty good on Saturday night for this time of year and some reasonably good observing done. We managed to get comet McNaught and it should still be visible i think this coming weekend. So if you can make it, that would be great.

All the best for now.

OK

If we had more girlies in the group, this one might do as an interim solution...(she can't be a real astronomer though, because she hasn't got a hat on ).
On the other hand...nice boots!

At least she's wearing gold and black...

Double bonus!

any room for a small one?? M54 only 25mins drive for me, and although i work some nights and w/e always looking for an alternative to back garden.
warning - i would however have to wear blue and gold

Plenty of room for all you're very welcome, I'll PM you the details of the site.

Blue and gold's okay, it's blue and white I draw the line at

Is any one going tonight just a thought.

Hi Vince66. If the skies are going to play ball this evening, then myself will be going. I will be bringing another interested party with me, but as far as anyone else at the moment, I can't say. Hope to see you there.

OK

Don't think I'll be making tonight, as I've just come off a night shift. But I will let the farmer know some are planning to go, hope for clear skies

I might pop along weather permitting

I've got a few things on over the next 3 weeks (work, work, holiday and work!) but want to stay in the loop as would love to meet up with everyone and hopefuly get some decent observing in aswell. August is looking fairly quiet for me so if the skies are clear and you all meet up hopefuly I'll get to see you all.

As I've eventually managed to sort a van out I'm off on a DIYing trip to my place in France this weekend so I won't be around for a few weeks.

On the plus side... I will be over 2k ft above sea level in one of the most sparsely populated dark places I've ever been to (detail in the Milky Way is visible naked eye from the centre of the village). At around 45 degrees North it gets properly dark at this time of year and with a bit of luck I'll have room for the Dob.

Hi Michael and everyone else,

I live not far from Wolverhampton, and looks like you have quite a gathering that I'd like to be part of the next time you go observing, if thats possible, alway like to meet others in this hobby, especially as I do only know a few in person. Graham from near here has already been in contact and I wanted to introduce myselt too, I have a rough idea when you observe as it's only a couple of miles from where I am. Hope to hear from some of you soon,
I'm on a couple of the other forums, just managed to get registered today on this one. I'm into imaging so most of my kit is on a mount, however I have a spare 10" Skywatcher that I'm slowly attempting to turn into a Dob for Observing, once that is working ok I could bring that along.

Regards
Pete,

Pete welcome to SGL! your more than welcome to join us and we have set up a black country observing group you can join.

How do you join? and how is everyone informed on when observing times are arranged? Do you all just meet at the site or do they meet anywhere else? I know so many questions. hopefully soon the weather will be kinder for us, seems ages since I attempted any kind of imaging or observing.

Pete

If you message Haitch he can add you to the observing group

Hi. I'm still knockin' around too now an' then.

Hi PeteGreg, and welcome. Check out my post at the top of this page as well for further details.

C.S's.

OK

Hi all,

Anyone who's been requesting to join apologies if I've been a bit slow as I'm in France and have been for the last few weeks (and will be for a while longer) and the beer in the internet cafe in my village is so strong that by the time I've sorted the work e-mails I tend to forget to visit the forum.

A plus tard

Paul

is any one going tonight it's gonna clear so they say.

If its clear im tempted, but chucking it down at min, looks like judgement day outside!
