It is healthier to be mutton dressed as lamb, than mutton dressed as mutton!

I think the special guest should get into one of your sleeping bags with you, in case he freezes to death tonight!

Fay,

I popped down there yesterday and you do not want that special guest in your sleeping bag, or I would not anyway.

Was nice and chilly around here last night, I wonder if they are all cold?

If this is some-one who wishes to stay anonymous and is very special and gives out autographs, I am wondering whether it is some-one from Sky at Night, as the new team are talking about getting involved with amateurs and their astronomical activities. 

I hope we are going to be enlightened once the weekend is over, the suspense is killing me.

Either that or you're pulling our legs.  :!

Was -7.5C last night.  Colder than the infamous DSC at Stairs Farm.

OMG, I am glad I didn't come.

Did you all get some good imaging time, it was clear here all night except for a small amount of passing cloud just before mightnight which didn't last long?

Was up until 3am.

-7.5C! Something wrong with my thermometer as it said +3C here :roll:

Glad I wasn't there or I would have iced lung or some such this morning :unwell:. Hot Dogs would have been welcome though - of course if I'd made it we'd have been able to use my electric hob, probably to sit round trying to warm up!

The skies were very transparent in Beckenham so I have some subs to process at last, how did imaging go last night? Mike comet image looks great and I'm guessing Mark got some as well.

Well you all missed a great weekend. Great skies and it was gorgeous and warm today.

I hope our special guest also enjoyed it.
