Tuesday Moonie Tuesday...................

Post by Roy Stewart » Fri Jan 14, 2011 8:42 pm

Hey Guy's.

Is any1 up for a night of Moon mapping and hopefully getting some nice pic's of the Lunar surface on tuesday night as it's supposed to be a beautiful moon lit night. Just a thought....... As it might be the only clear night for awhile. We can have it at my place as the lights wont matter as the moon will be pretty bright on it's own.

Cheers Roy :D :D

Sounds good but it looks like I'll be working.
If I get home earlier than I suspect I'll give you a text, see if your out.

Hey Tom.

I'll be setting up my scope about 5pm, so if you wanna meet me at the LIT just up from Thomond Park about 4:45. We'll be setting up in my backyard.
Here's to clear skies.

hi Roy,
Would it be ok if I call over between 5.30 and 6.00, I'll ring you before hand.
I got a feeling that fog will roll in fast tomorrow, so we need to be done before it gets too bad,.

Hi Roy,
thanks for the grand evening at your place, the sky was sharp and clear and views of the moon were great, as were the sandwiches and tea.
So, I'll send a text tonight for a lunar and jupiter club session at your place this Friday, weather permitting, should be good.
