What is all this "Depends on the Weather" business? Has everyone gone soft? It is in May, it's hardly going to be sub-zero temperatures !!

[Tony G]

I'll Definately be there, 
but this depends on whether its to hot, or not during the day, and if its slightly chilly at night, and if any clouds appear, then you'll see me disappear.
But apart from that, I'll definately be there.

Friday to Monday.

So if its absolutely persisting down you'll be there

Mac,

I have never seen it absolutely persisting down without there being clouds involved.

Er....clouds....rain.....

i.e. not going if we're not going to get any imaging/observing done as I'm also packing to go on holiday a few days later, so don't want to be drying out wet and muddy things just beforehand. 

Also not being as young as most of you guys I find all the packing and upacking for camp rather knackering, so only want to go if it's going to be Astronomically rewarding.

[Tony G]

You can still see astronomically rewarding sights, even when its cloudy.

Still something like this, would still be seen anywhere within quite a few miles. not just from Blacklands.
