Sunday at mine

Post by Roy Stewart » Fri Feb 25, 2011 8:03 pm

Hey Guy's.

Sundays looking good according to accuweather. So who's up for a session from my backyard or even The Burren. But Iwas thinking that my place would be ok for a few hour's, nothin 2 late maybe til about midnight or just after as ye'll have work Monday mornin. Tuesday Evening looks good too.

Cheers Roy :D :D

well Roy, you beat me to it 8)
Sunday at yours looks good, gives me a chance to test out a few things with the 6 incher on the 12" forks. Dont think I can make the burren that night.

anytime after 8pm is fine by me.... give us time to set up and catch the ISS.
Tom don't forget to bring your webcam as you might catch some nice images of Saturn.

Cheers Roy :D :D

Hey Guy's

Great nite last nite.

Got some excellent views of Saturn through Tom's 9.25...

Got a lot of clusters like NGC's and Messier's through my own 5" scope, Daves 6" scope and Tom's 9.25" CPC.

Again GREAT NITE

Heres to many more.

Cheers Roy :D :D

I absolutely do agree Tom, some of the best SCT optics Ive seen
and thats not just a hollow platitude, you know that if it was a crock I'd tell you. :twisted:
For some reason I had 11" in my head.
Looking forward to the next night. :P
