North Lincs Astro 4th meet.

[Nexus 6]

Hi SGL, the latest meeting of the North Lincolnshire Astronomy Society was held on Monday evening. Our 4th meeting turned out to be a resounding success and what a brilliant night we all had! The weather was playing ball so there was an opportunity to observe the Moon whilst we waited for a pointer from Arcturus which once acquired helped to locate Saturn. Observations were made using a few scopes and binoculars including 2 Skywatcher 150p reflectors and a 130 Skywatcher Skyhawk with a variety of ep's used from the likes of Celestron, Televue and Meade to name a few.

On the binocular front some fantastic views were had of the Moon using 10x50's from Pentax and the ubiquitous Liddle no name but surprisingly good £12.99 bins!, how can they be that good for such a price?!!!!, Celestron and Helios 15x70's were also available to use as well as a few others, sorry guys forgot to make a note of everything we were using.

I now believe out of the 4 meetings of the society we have had a amazing run of luck with the weather, thats 3 out of 4 when we have had an opportunity to get out and observe, lets hope it carries on at that ratio!

Many thanks to all who attended

Nigel, Graham, Steven, Martin, Damian, Malcolm, Alf, Paul, Colin and Rebecca and a special thanks to Terry for helping out! That man deserve's a slice of the finest cake ever constructed by man....and er..... woman

Had a good evening and it was a pleasure to come up and meet everyone...

What a great spot for an astro club.

Looking forwards to the next one.

I'm guessing with the time you made this post Alan you spent some time out with your scope... When we got back to town the roof was shut as usual........!!

Nice to have met both you and Rebacca Colin, have to agree its a very decent location we have for the group.

Yup, I did have a look at the Moon again at home, I have been blown away by the 24mm Panoptic on the 925...

Will see you on the 4th all being well.

Your welcome mate, was another good meet. I think things are looking very positive for an established society, if all were to make it on the same night we would have around 20 or so members

Will see you next month if not before
