Anyone bringing their kids along?

A HUGE thank you to you Helen for keeping my lads entertained with rockets, meteors, dinosaurs, blowing up half the UK etc, etc. Other than having to leave prematurely due to suffering an asthma attack the family had a really great time catching up, solar observing and learning some new things at the talks. Just gutted we missed the clear skies and not getting to show my youngest the milkyway for the first time but the lads are both already looking forward to SGL2018

No problem - they are a lovely pair of lads and it was fun!  (I hope the flour didn't cause the asthma attack!!)  Although we did get some clear skies, there was a lot of moisture in the air so the Milky Way was actually not very clear (does that make you feel a bit better?!?)  Look forward to seeing you all next year, and I'm hoping my helpers (Simon, Rhi, Mike and Caroline) will be there again!

The double cluster did that for me too in the Dob last night 

Me too. Thanks so much for giving me time at your eyepiece Helen. You have a magnificent instrument, and you were very kind to let me have some time with it

TBH I'm not sure what the trigger was but it was a lot later in the day so not likely to have been the meteor jelly bean strikes in the flour Just one of those things I have to live with but thankfully I was able to get it under control on the journey home.
