Title: Observing Evening - 9th October
Post by: Mike on Oct 09, 2012, 09:14:32
Just a reminder that we have an Observing Session tonight . Meet at the Change of Horses, Farnborough High Street, BR6 7BB from 20:15 and we will then move onto the field just before it gets dark to set up (weather permitting). Alternatively just come straight to the field at Dusk.

If anyone doesn't want to come to the pub but wants to come join us at the field then please do so. If you want my mobile number to check if we are up there yet or not then send me a Private Message on here and I will send it to you.

Mike

The forecast is looking really good for tonight so we should be able to actually get up to the field and do some observing.

Hmm - the Met Office now predicts cloud ...
