Last night was a complete wash-out as far as observing was concerned - forecast for tonight is looking more optimistic though...

Talk at 9.00 pm in the Eureka Tent, and observing after when it gets a bit darker.

There will also be solar viewing tomorrow (Saturday) - if clear...

The talks were both very good. Observing after the Friday talk was great. The sky cleared just for us and we had the chance to give plenty of people their first telescopic view of Saturn. Fantastic
