Gotcha!  Was only joking, but I really can't make my mind up if I take the ED80, 8" F4 or the meade yet, and I'm only taking one scope.  I guess because of the last of dark the 8" F4 with HA is the way to go for this weekend.

This is Rother Valley calling Home - Mick Chris and myself are here.  All set up, just waiting for darkness and the clouds to clear  ;)

See the rest of you tomorrow.  I took Chris' advice and got myself a 3 dongle and hey presto it works.

High Halden calling Rother Valley - it's cloudy here as well.  But a mild night and the glow worms are out in large numbers again.

No sign of Chinooks.

Hope to see you tomorrow night.

Clouds finally clearing although still patchy and air damp.
Gear put away now and surprise, surprise - loads of stars  :!

No Chinooks and no glow worms, had some rain though  :(
