Yay, I helped somebody, sort of

Park out on the main road, the little street with the entrance is hard to find a space in.

A reminder that I keep intending to visit LAS.

But if the sky is clear, I will want to stay home and look at Mars.

If it is cloudy you won't see Mars either!

Decisions, decisions.

You can stay at home any day/night, come along, not too far for you, meet like minded people face to face. I've only been once before but everybody was friendly...

Just wanted to bump this up (sorry) and bring it to the attention of anybody who hasn't seen it and would be interested.

I would go if I lived close by, let us know how you get on, I will have to keep wishing for a decent view of Mars. Wish they would do something like that near me.

what a great night! mars looked amazing, even through slight fog. 4-5 scopes set up, some trained on mars, others on venus and jupiter. Great detail in mars, the best I have seen in the obsy. Venus - half venus phase. looked really good.

jupiter was fogged out for me.

met some old friends and even work mates! cheers Kelvin, I really enjoyed it.
