Title: Observing tonight?
Post by: Kenny on Feb 08, 2015, 14:28:55
It looks like it might be clear this evening. I know it's a school night but does anyone fancy going out?

Depends who's interested but either Otford Rec or Cudham, unless MarkH wants to invite us to the Rising Sun again.

I will be at the Rising Sun tonight and you're always  welcome to join me. I will be able to join you for some observing but I may have to dedicate some time meeting with an ex neighbour on some legal business. Just calming down after being out driving my new Porsche.  :D
