Thanks For Everything
Hey Guy's
Thanks for everything last night at the meeting, and an even bigger thanks for giving me my 1st image's of Jupiter it was awe inspiring. Cant wait to go viewing with you guy's(hopefully soon) and get a look through your Scope's and as I said last night if its clear and dark I have a place for viewing and your more than welcome.
Cheers Roy

Hi Roy.
Glad you enjoyed the night and yes, we'll take you up on the offer of using your place for an observing session.

Ive got a flask, so did you say you had an area of concrete in your fields ??Roy Stewart wrote:My wife said ye're more than welcome on any clear but bring your on tea cause she'll be damned if she's gonna make it.

working on grass is generally not a good idea.
Also, since you asked about optic cleaning in the last meeting, some good advice on cleaning optice on the ifas site

Overcleaning is the worst thing you could do, also using the wrong materials will micro scratch the lenses\mirros leading to a permanent dull finish.

Hey Dave
Its not a concrete surface but its a pretty level gravel surface and a few acres of pretty level fields that I can lay out some plastic sheeting to put our scopes on. I also have a 33ft gazebo if ye need it, it could come in handy for a trip to the burren. It'll be a place to have a bite to eat and still be outside observing. By the way Sunday night is looking good and ye're more than welcome to join me out here. The sky is supposed to be crystal clear.
Cheers Roy.

OK that works for me. I'm willing and eager to go observing any night and Monday night does look better according to Accuweather. But if it does clear up this evening(hopefully) I'm still up for observing on both nights. Oh Dave will you be bringing that MONSTER of yours, cause I'd love to get a look at it.
