Duncton hill on road out of Petworth towards Chitchester has car park and I think very likely seriously dark

Just checked that Google link yes that is the car park I was thinking of, it is beautiful around there

  

Nice good to hear, won't have time to suss beforehand.

I'm in, Petworth is only a 40 minute drive from me.

Might be worth letting emadmoussa know as he now lives in that neck of the woods.

Thanks Antony, please extend invite.

Still waiting on chairman "Frank" to confirm.

Okay I think we are getting close to a critical mass, please spread the word and try to get people to join.

I will make my decision to drive out their by tomorrow lunch time as I need to get all my stuff prepared.  

I am planning on going out to B&Q to get a power inverter so I can power mounts and cameras.

I also have a kettle for coffee and biscuits, people can arrive and leave when ever it suites them.

I will try to hold the fort for as long as possible - probably from 19:30 through to 02:30. 

So far we have

+1 Chris

+1 Obsey

+1 Denis

+1 Bathurst

? Frank

?  happy-kat

? Any others?

Anybody else who wants to come just +1

If you any of the above cannot make it let us know by lunch time tomorrow.

Thanks

Fingers crossed they're right about the clear skies, my astronomy thing on accuweather says it's worst viewing night between tonight and sun. .. But then it says tonight is good viewing :blink::huh:

Met office is usually really good for this type of thing

Check the weather (clouds) and visibility indicators. (Good is not the best, but they are usually conservative.)

But we will need to keep a eye on it as the by lunch time we will know for definite.

It is currently clear over Manchester and this high pressure should drift over us by tomorrow night.

Depending how fast or slow it moves will determine if tomorrow night is viable.

Met Office is usually right but always best to check in within the 24hours leading up to the event, being a Groundsman I rely on Weather sites/apps on a daily basis and know all too well how wrong they can be but also how right as well!
