tbird Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) I'm organising an extra observing session at Badger Farm, which is a little north of Horncastle, for June 15th, 8pm onward set up. ( weather permitting of course ! ) Not strictly an ELAC event, but I'm inviting EMS members and NLAS members. Message me or email [email protected] for details. A contribution of £2 would be appreciated for use of site and toilets. Panorama of site Edited June 6, 2013 by tbird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+RonC Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Sorry Paul, that's the day I get back, think I'll be too knackered. Next time I'd love too. Hope it goes well and a clear sky on the night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfruit Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 As I am unable to make our meeting this Saturday I have every intention of attending this extra meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibbz2 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Looks like a nice site... Not sure because i think i have exams scattered all around that weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbird Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 I hope to organise more sessions there, Colin ( foundaplanet on SGL ) knows the owners and is organising a weekend star party there in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic dave Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I'll be there paul. Are any of our notts/derbys/leics friends planning a trip over to the dark side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Mother - in - law spends a lot of time in her caravan at Horn castle - we stop over for a few nights occasionally, bit too far to travel for a meet but if the meet co-indices when we are stopping over then I am there! Looks a good site though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbird Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Badger Farm directions http://thebasketcase.info/location.php co-ordinates 53° 18' 26" N 0° 06' 07" W Would any one attending, but not staying all night, please park facing away from the observing area to minimise disruption, usual dark site etiquette aplies. Again, we are entirely at the mercy of the weather, if it doesn't look like clearing the session will be postponed to a later date.

oldfruit Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Warm and a little breezy. We have had far worse conditions before. If we set up under an umbrella we should be ok for later. Edited June 13, 2013 by oldfruit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfruit Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Forecast will probably change between now and then anyway so hopefully clear all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbird Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 The forecast shows clear at midnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfruit Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Just checked and it is a hard one to judge but as I said before, it could be possible that it may be clear for longer. Anyone doing any imaging when we go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibbz2 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Seems a lot of cloud either side of the window, hopefully it clears a bit or stays in the evening/morning hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldfruit Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 As unreliable as it is sometimes, the bbc forecast looks possibly good for tonight. Just a bit breezy but I am sure we can use the vehicles as a wind break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
