Anyone want to meet up tomorrow night (6th october)?

Astropanel is showing fairly clear skies.

[zicklurky]

Sure! If the skies are clear I'll be there

Hey been away so unable to make it out recently, although just got back from Hereford area - got about 45m of clear skies last night there (naked eye no scope) fantastic skies, shame skies around here aren't similar. Will post when able to make out will keep eye on here

Been at Kelling the last few days. Great fun.

Lousy skies though, cloudy

Let's hope for some clear skies real soon

Been at Kelling the last few days.

Me too! A pity I didn't know - I would have popped over to say hello.

[Rustysplit]

Sorry. I was away too down near Dungeness. We had a couple of nights of really good skies.

[zicklurky]

Looks like it's clearing up, I'm going to head to RC tonight, probably get there at 10ish or so. Anyone keen?

[hobsey]

Sorry, just seen this. Cant make it on school nights.

[zicklurky]

No probs! It was mighty cold last night! Had to retreat to the car every 15 minutes

I don't think Joe does SGL. At least I don't think I've seen him post under this topic.

Nice chap though.

Depending on a decision to be made later I am either gonna shoot down to my mates near East Hoathley, or if it seems dodgy down there, I may well pop up to RC later. Wont know until later though after I have done a badly timed bit of shifting I got roped into   Anyone else likely to be out at RC tonight?

Still haven't got the secondary back in my 10" yet been a lazy git. Won't be able to get it done this evening as it's down my folks house.

If your going to RC I can bring my 31mm Nagler up for you to try if you want? Similar FOV to a 35mm pan.

[Rustysplit]

Hi Steve,

Looks like I am off the Si's so no go for RC.

I have been lent an old meade qx 70deg 36mm ep so I can test out the exit pupil before splashing out on Pan.

I will catch up with you soon hopefully if the weather plays ball.

[zicklurky]

Woop woop! Just picked up a 10" dob on ebay. Hoping to pick it up and get some time in at RC this week, if this storm allows! I've never had my own dob, I can't wait to give it a viewing! Although I'm going to need to learn how to collimate now.. 

[Rustysplit]

Nice one Zicklurky. You are gonna enjoy thst a lot. Post up when you are going, I will try to grt up there too

[swamp thing]

Congrats buddy. Yep stick a post on here when you head up, I'll try and get along too.

[zicklurky]

Awesome, thanks guys, hopefully see you there! 

[Rustysplit]

How about tomorrow night, tuesday? Wind looks a little lighter and supposedly clear all night.

[swamp thing]

If it's clear I'll be up for it.

[hobsey]

I may pop. As its a school night I won't be out for long so I may just bring up my new st80 to try out.

[Rustysplit]

Fingers crossed then chaps.

I have just bought a new tripod for my old ST80 as a widefield  grab and go set up. Very impressed with the little scope. It used to be my guidescope for imaging, so never really looked through it  

[hobsey]

Mine will be mounted when the tube rings get delivered but for now its on my slik88 camera tripod.

[zicklurky]

Cool, I'll be there!
