Title: Observing Evening/Social Night - Tuesday 16th June
Post by: Mike on Jun 15, 2015, 22:12:22
Don't forget folks that it is an Observing/Social Evening tomorrow night (Tuesday 16th).

Meet up at the Change of Horses from 8:00pm onwards and (weather permitting) we will move onto the field later on or stay in the pub for a drink and a chat.

The forecast says there is a possibility of some clear sky but it will not get dark till after around 10pm anyway.

See you then.

Mike

Hope to make it for a quick visit tonight, mainly for a chat about the weekend.

Cheers

Jon

Had to leg it back to work, so will not make it tonight. On the plus side have 5 of those power supplies now. Will hopefully meet up at the weekend.

Shame Jon. You missed a good night. It was clear too !! We saw Saturn, Jupiter and Venus, Arcturus, Vega and also had a pass of the ISS at 22:38.

Never mind, i'll see you at DSC if you're going.
