I hope I've got those in the website's calendar now.

[Mike]

Thanks Rick.

[Mike]

The dates for 2015 have now been added. As you can see official DSC dates will be monthly in 2015.

[Rick]

...and added to the website. I've marked all the 2015 DSCs provisional at Rother Valley (because a location needed choosing). When locations are settled then the correct ones can be selected and the provisional mark removed.

[Mike]

Imaging Sessions for 2015 added.

[Rick]

...and in the main site's calendar, too.

[Mike]

Robert are you aware your Observing Evening in May is the start of DSC?

[Kenny]

Mike - 13th Feb went ahead as an image processing evening even though it was cloud.

[RobertM]

Robert are you aware your Observing Evening in May is the start of DSC?

Thanks Mike I was aware but in any case I can no longer do that day so I'll likely rearrange before the next meeting.

Don't forget - Imaging session at my house this Friday 10th July from 8pm, no earlier please.

The forecast is for it to be clear but it won't be dark till very late so it's unlikely we'll get any observing in.
