Thanks unfortunately that just so happens to be when I'm working I work one weekend a month. Sods law eh.

Hi

Sorry you can't make Knebworth, we have 200+ attendees booked so far and a number of emails coming in on a daily basis asking after same.

I'm still busy with the house swap so haven't been able to attend club observing events so I hope everything's OK with everyone. I'll wait until things settle down and be more active.

[Daz1974]

You at Knebworth saturday? I still have that recording of Sidewalk Astronomer for you that I recorded weeks ago.

Sorry, been out of the loop for a while. Had a few issues since we met up.

Are we looking at a Friday night again?

[jasonp]

I'm around all except fri 24th march and 27/28/29 April. I may have to work as new rota comes out in 2 wks but I can plan around if we know soon

[Gibbo]

How about Friday 30th March?

[Gibbo]

Hi Gary. Hope all is OK

[jasonp]

That's good for me yes

[Gibbo]

Excellent

All I need to do before then is learn how to polar align my new NEQ6 Pro mount!

[jasonp]

Whoooooah NEQ6 it's a beast isn't it.

It's easy shout if you Want help I'll be happy to meet you at wrest park one eve or you come to mine etc as I have same.

Jason

[Gibbo]

Lol. It certainly is a beast. I consider myself fairly strong but boy is it difficult to lug downstairs and out into the garden!

I would be very grateful of some assistance with polar aligning. Thanks very much for the offer Not had much opportunity to get out and have a go since I bought it (typically). What with work and cloudy nights it seems like forever since I last got a chance to do some star gazing

[jasonp]

Just shout when you want help. I myself have had about 5 stargazing sessions in 6 months !

[Daz1974]

I'll be in Vegas so wont be able to make it this time.

Booked up for a desert stargazing trip while Im there so wil lbe interesting to see what the night sky looks like from the middle of the Nevada desert compared to grotty old Stevenage.

Will hopefully meet up for the next meet at WP!!

[ghewett]

Hi Keith

It's certainly been a testing time, shall we say.

30th is good for me. Fingers crossed for some good weather.

Should we let the security people at Wrest Park know that we have plans for that night?

Garry

[jasonp]

30th good for me too

[Gibbo]

Should we let the security people at Wrest Park know that we have plans for that night?

Garry

I wouldn't know who to speak to in security. Let's just turn up. They will be fine

I hope it's clear! Looks like tonight will be clear. Wanna get out and test the new mount

[ghewett]

Let's just turn up. They will be fine

I like your attitude.

[ChrisThePuma]

[jasonp]

What time shall we all meet on Friday ? 7.45 to setup ? Or later ?
