Hi All

Looks like we could be in for a more favourable week:hello2:

Specially from Wednesday on.

Weather permitting I may be travelling to a dark site Wednesday or thursday if anyone is interested in tagging along?

It probably will be some distance away though, so could well be an all nighter.

I will post whereabouts and when, when I know for sure.

I've got the day off on Thursday so a trip to a further afield dark site on Wed night would be ideal.

Keen to get up to Ranmore Tue night too if the conditions are as good as the forecast.

Sounds like a plan to me.

[jam1e1]

if all goes to plan will do best to make up RC on tue nite - let me know if plan to do further afield at all but will play by ear

[swamp thing]

Weathers playing ball so I'll be heading up Ranmore later on.

[jam1e1]

Stuck at work at the mo, will join later if not too late back

[Woking]

sat24 is showing some odd stuff, SE england is clear with cloud swirling around us but I've got faith in the forecast lol

will be up for 9ish

[jam1e1]

Any plans for next few days?

[Woking]

Last night was a bit of a wash out at Ranmore despite the lack of clouds as the fog rolled in not long after setting up! everything got soaked, even the EPs lol

I could be up for Thurs night.

[jam1e1]

Shame, could have brought lasers up and reenacted a scene from starwars with all the fog!

Def up for Tomo will work from home so can actually make it :-)

[jam1e1]

Up for rc later if few other people up for coming -845 onwards

[Woking]

yep, can do. think Steve is still away at a welsh dark site.

I will get there for similar time - let me know if any changes

[jam1e1]

Ok just going to grab some food, will aim for 915 or thereabouts

[Woking]

ok, see you up there

[swamp thing]

yep, can do. think Steve is still away at a welsh dark site.

No that was last night tonight I'm on Salisbury Plain.

Doing an Astro tour.

Maybe Bignor tomorrow, if I can hack it.

[Woking]

Brilliant lol, hope the proper dark sites are producing the goods.

Ranmore was pretty clear tonight. Oddly the mist was further down the slope driving back, but nothing on the top like Tues night.

I could be up for Bignor tomo.

... burning the midnight oil?!

[Woking]

yeah, I needed a hot drink after getting back from Ranmore so logged on whilst the kettle was boiling lol

I'm not going to be able to get out tonight, so it's next week for me.

Thank God for that, I'm knackered.

[Woking]

You did'nt do one of those Messier Marathons?

Sounds a great astro tour but no wonder it's caught up with you.

Posting any observing reports on SGL?

Fingers crossed the weather stays the same into next week. Just realised I can only do the Mon or Tues then I'm away for the rest of the week.

[Astro_Baby]

My car broke down otherwise I would have been up there all this week. It wont be fixed until Monday.

[jam1e1]

last night was really good, astronomia was up there too but left quite early circa 930pm. We tested out the laser pens, lets hope there were no imagers about

shame mel if you said would have picked you up!

i can prob do tue next week - pending signoff from other half!

[PeterW]

Looks like the sun is nearing a close and the moon is beginning to get n the way too. Nice evening...

[swamp thing]

Looking pretty good out there at the moment.

Anyone fancy a bash tonight?

[jam1e1]
