Erm I know it's nothing to do with me now, but I scheduled December DSC for 7th to 10th but the New Moon is a week later.

Was there a reason discussed for this or did I just F*#* up ?   

[Rick]

I think the reasoning went "let's take the weekend next to new moon that's further from Xmas"...

[mickw]

Hmm doesn't sound right

Very likely.

I also proposed an all-nighter imaging session at my place on Sat 15 Dec:

Oh that's good - It's your fault

On another note,

Assuming the rain stops today,
what do you think the underlying mud bath deep sky camp for the 18 will be like?

and where do you think the venue is lightly to be, only it seems that this is the first deep sky camp i'm not working....
Although that could all change between now and next week.
Just need to know.

Cheers

Mac.

I will email Jackie at Rother Valley to ask for conditions. If it's too boggy we'll use Blacklands.

[Mike]

Reply from Jackie at Rother Valley.....

Hi Mike,

The conditions have been terrible and we have had to cancel all bookings over the last three weekends. However we are hopeful that a few days of dry and windy weather may help (which are forecast). I suggest I give you an update early next week?

Best Wishes
Jackie

So, if it is still boggy next week we'll use Blacklands instead.

[Fay]

I assume DSC is cancelled?
