cosmic dave Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 Looking at the weather forecast for Saturday, I should say we will have more time for discussion than starwatching!! So, thinking caps on everybody and lets sort out the name and a dark site if we can while we are all together!?? Ron What time are we meeting ? I'm in lincoln in the afternoon so won't get there before 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Well Mark wanted to be at Gib point for 4.30 to set up before it got dark, BUT weather forecast is pants for Saturday (rain most of the day and evening!) I'm going to check the weather on Saturday, if it's OK I'll meet Mark etc at 4.30 ish but if it's raining I will come over for 7 ish to the watering hole Hotel (forgot name!) as we need to discuss stuff anyway?

oldfruit Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 If todays forecast is anything to go by i will wait and see. Today and this evening should have been wall to wall cloud, it has been clear as a bell since 3pm and still is!! Best bet is to check on here on Saturday for an update.

It's about 3/4 mile of the A153 near East Kirkby (RAF museum there) See what you think?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic dave Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 Sorry I did not make it last night guys, a combination of a banging headache, back late from Lincoln and work this morning meant the lure of staying in the warm house was to much. Did you have a good evening ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have a good evening ?? You lightweight, you should be ashamed. Yes it was a good evening but we all packed up before 10pm as dew and cloud got the better of us.

+RonC Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) Better than some Dave, cloudy to start with then very clear for an hour or so then drifting cloud and the temp dropped quite a bit! I spent most of the evening tutoring a newbie with a 130p synscan, can't remember his name (Mark or Paul will!) quite a few meteors and good views of Jupiter. Left about 10pm, stopped twice on the way home to look at M42 at some dark places at the roadside!! Secutity lights were bad last night, we must find a new dark site asap I think!
