fingers crossed it will be a good night!    i might need some advice on getting an synscan AZ mount working......  i discovered i have a second synscan controller with a slightly newer hand version so fingers crossed it will actually work this time

[Deadhead]

I would love to come but sadly I am going to Liverpool this weekend as past of a Stag party. Fingers crossed you have decent conditions for a change.

Nor me unfortunately - 2 more weeks and I have the winter observing in front of me, Fingers crossed for the weather for those attending

[AstroJOE]

The forecast is looking pretty grim for Saturday and with the rugby being a late kick as well I've decided to skip this one unfortunately.

Fingers crossed for a Welsh win in the rugby and clear skies over Blaenavon in the evening !

Sorry Matthew I cannot attend because one of the local National Trust venues is hosting a star party and is expecting a crowd from a wide area - hopefully!! Whether its clear or cloudy I will be giving a demo on scopes or giving a talk on various topics.

Lets hope is clear for you and me.

Looks like it's just me and my baseball bat so far.

its a clear night tonight,   which does normally mean its gonna be wet and horrid tomorrow cos iv just got home from work and too knackard to go out

tempted to bring the kson mount up tomorrow!

[stevetynant]

Sunday lookin good as well Gaz, no consolation I know. Too close to the rugby I would guess for a lot. I haven't had my scope out since Brecon but things are about to change in the next few weeks. Hope to catch up soon

Struggling to get back into it at the moment - looking forward to meeting up though - fingers crossed for you all tonight

[texaspete1973]

Yes mate I think you're right but we live in hope. Be good to see everyone again.

[Matthew]

The forecast is poor for tonight so the session is cancelled, when I get home I will sort out the next date.

[Freff]

Thanks for that Matt, I was in two minds anyway.

Drat and double drat

[stevetynant]

woke up at 5am took a look outside and the sky was crystal clear- Orion shining brightly right in front of me. Jut got to take this one on the chin, just like the rugby, and look forward to the next one now.

[Freff]

Don't feel so bad Steve, most of the night was not that good.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around much recently - have finally qualified as a GP and have been up to my eyeballs in work.  Finally settling down, and wondering when the next meet at Blaenavon will be.
