South Coast Astro - 29th January 2011

[russ]

Just a heads up that weather permitting, we will be holding our dark sky meet this coming Saturday, 29th January. Will be close to New Moon, so lovely dark winter skies hopefully.

Will post more details of time etc later this week but likely to start around 7pm and go for as long as we can hack the cold.

Weather forecast is now looking very poor for tomorrow night. We will be reviewing things tomorrow morning and making a decision then.

This has to be one of the worst spells ever.

Where abouts do you meet Russ? I live in Portsmouth and the sky was pretty good last night for a few hours.

Cheers, Ollie

Would anyone mind if a newbie came along one time maybe? I promise to behave and not get in anyones way? Would love to see some kit in the flesh being used by people that know what they are doing. Many thanks, and no offence taken if you all say no

Im sure no one would mind at all, anyone is more than welcome

Yep, as Paul says, you are more than welcome to join us anytime.

The only advantage to joining the group officially is you get the inside track on what is being organised or if there are any ad-hoc sessions being planned which we wouldn't bother with a message in the general forum area.

No obligation to do anything by joining the group.

Hi and thanks for that. Can you let me know more about the group? Where / when do you meet etc? I live in Bournemouth so not sure where you are. Cheers!
