I spoilt that when Mark had a DSC to himself at the beginning of the year, or was it the end of last year..........it's been so long. :roll:
Maybe the next one Fay.

Weather forecast is not looking good ATM.  Chris, don't count me in for Chilli after all as I shan't be coming if there is no chance of doing any imaging. 

If a miracle happens and the weather reports change I'll come and if there is no chilli left over, then I'll fend for myself.

Weather as far as I can see is OK. Friday night is forecast to be clear and Saturday partly clear. Rain due sunday daytime but a clear night after that.

Carole no problem, I'm still going rain or shine because we havent all been together for ages....


The Thing

Weather is looking better each time I check, touch wood. My old 8" LX90 is now on Robert's old HEQ5 and all systems tested out OK last night so I am hoping to use the set-up in anger on Friday night.

Decided to come down today, getting bored at home.

Made the mistake of telling Fay, now she's here :roll:
At least I can send her up the chip shop   :D

Field dry and firm, loads of flying things - skies bright but looks like high cloud at the moment   :(

Yes, the forecasts have changed a bit, but I didn't want Chris to go buying food for me and then I didn't come.  Weather now looking a bit more positive, so hopefully am coming.

Weather looking patchy cloud at the moment.
SAT24 shows a whole mass of clouds heading this way  :(

At least it's not raining

Was hoping to get down early today to set up but now need to go into London to deal with an idiotic employee.

Will see you later this evening instead. At least it stays light till late.

Bit late on the report for last night.

Yes I had beer  :D

After loads of hardware/problems, managed to get some imaging in.

Sky not great but better than London
