A couple of good evenings for observing and imaging and someone goes and gets a new bloody scope.  :(

Hence the weather. :-?

Haha, I guess that's an unwritten rule eh?

this is getting ridiculous.

It's time to organise kit purchases. In next years calendar, we should put kit buying days, probably around full moons and then make it a condition of membership that kit is only acquired on those days.

It took over a month to recover from some of the kit received for xmas (although I think Greg shoulders most responsibility for that, him getting an obscenely nice bit of kit...) and I bet we're now going to have to write off most of February now too. Mick did you order your scope? Just so I know, I think I'll pawn my kit if you did. I'll get it out of hock by the time the skies clear by doing a paper round.

Er, sorry Ian, yes   :oops:
Fortunately it should be getting shipped from US some time this week, so at least 2-3 weeks before I get my mits on it, so make the most of the clear skies   :twisted:
If you're hocking your stuff - first dibs on the Lidlescope  :lol:
