It must be hard having to take Jake for a walk with only an Astrotrac for a crutch. Hope you get better quickly and don't let the physios bully you too much.

Really bad news Julian.  Hope you make a fast recovery!

Julian,

Forget about your leg, that's nothing.........Claim for whiplash, and get a new scope, everybody is doing it. :-?
Seriously though, get well soon.;)

Met office is not reliable enough. These two are my preferred sites.

I'm still planning to come Friday night, I assume I can leave my pitch booking until Friday?

What targets are people planning on ? I've thinking of doing M33. I had a practice last night with my first script for AA5, which went OK with 5 mins subs, as I don't want problems on the night with arrriving late.

QuoteI assume I can leave my pitch booking until Friday?

That's a good point as I also haven't made a booking yet just in case. I'm going to assume it should be ok, they can't be all that bust this time of year?
Those forecasts do look quite a bit more promising than what the met office has to say so will get everything ready this evening but still not going to make a final decision until tomorrow.

Remember be careful, if you book and then cancel due to the weather, you will be ex-communicated and banished to the pits of brimstone and fire, because you do not have the right to cancel (allegedly)..............I've just encountered Deja Vu  :roll:
