Hey Guys...
I know it's nothing to do with me
anymore as I am no longer a committee
member, but I was wondering if all fliers
have been distributed and all relevant papers
and radio stations have been notified??
Cheers Roy

we had about 20 or so including all of us at it on Tuesday, the weather was 50-50, so I'm surprised we got anyone, but we did manage to get in Jupiter and the Moon.
and the 2 scopes are now working perfectly aswell

to set up observing events at O,Callaghan Strand on
tonight Fri 19th and tomorrow night Sat 20th April from
8.30PM and the weather forecast looks more promising.
