I'll disappear during the day tomorrow to do some work on the observatory.  Anyone is welcome to pop in and have a nose.  Just walk round into the garden - that's where I'll be.

Looks a great clear night so happy imaging, I have a 13 yr old birthday party this weekend so I'm stuck at home.  :(

JonH

Would have been nice to make this weekend but got too many other things to do and already had plans for Sunday.
Hope everyone has a good weekend imaging  :beer:
Shoot for the stars, reach the tree tops!

Was the first night clear?
It was for a while here in Snodland but clouded over later about 12.00am  :-?
And was there any imaging or observing done?

It was clear but gusty. Fay did some widefield with an iOptron tracker, Canon and 50mm lens, I gave up due to the wind, murk and bad seeing, Dorian gave us a look through his 11" Celestron which was great, Sue had her Tak out and Delphine was having a go with her Nexstar.

More wind tonight to its :beer: and birthday celebrations.

The field is full and there were lots of fire pits and barbecues, but they burnt out before it got dark.

Whoever is busy getting merry! Delphine is always 21. And it doesn't get dark enough. BTW Mick visited and John P is here now with is daughter. A busy weekend. Shame about the wind.

It's good to see that a foot rest has been installed at the Rother Valley Camping site:

We could turn this into a OAS competition.
'Guess Who's Feet'

I must stress that the owners cannot enter!

Well here goes..............

1. The Thing
2. Fay (I'd recognize those furry boots anywhere)
3. Mark
4. Someone lazy that they don't do laces.  :lol:
5. Someone like me that needs to lose a bit of weight, as they don't fit on the chair. ;)
6.Jackie 'The Owner' coming up behind you with a big stick telling you to get your bloody feet off the chair and asking do you do that at home? :!

Still I maybe wrong and this could just be an obscure photo from the tinternet.

I've never really thought of myself as a feet owner before!

Great picture Mark. Well it was a great DSC despite the crappy weather. We still had fun.

Here's a few snaps Petra and I took: PICCIES

Tony WRONG on a couple of guesses!
It is healthier to be mutton dressed as lamb, than mutton dressed as mutton!
