As the weather is showing signs of still being rubbish, I thought I'd better remind you that Tuesday is an Observing Evening  :roll:

Mick,

It's going to be clear, I'll be there!  Who's bringing the large range of the society scopes?

I can't bring mine on the motorbike....

I'll bring the binoviewers and I'm sure Ken will bring the Solar Scope - Will that do ?

Sorry, can't come, Mick, I have a dinner engagement in Greenwich. At least I can go to bed when I get in & have a good sleep, unlike yesterday!!!!

In my possession I have the Zeiss (in a great big box)  :( and some bins, Ken has the Solar Scope at the moment and I believe Carole has the Mintron, mainly used for Outreach.
We also have a busted HEQ5 which is a pending repair.

It seems like a lovely array of astronomical equipment.  :-?
You could do with those bins by the sounds of it?

QuoteCarole has the Mintron
No I don't have this any more, I gave it back to Ian.

I think Rick and Tom keep the list of who has what.
