Hi all,

Today is Bargo, but from looking at the various weather forecasts (7Timer, SkySkippy etc) it looks like it's going to be a wet night.

I really wanted to test out my scope project I am working on (I'll post it in the "DIYl" section of the "Equipment" forums) but I guess this gives me a chance to refine the code a bit and maybe put it in a box

Cheers,
Simon

Heya

Yes the climate in sutherland shire is looking quite unstable, but showing a clear break perhaps forming overnight. If this is the case I'll head down to GPO since they are having a Star Night there, was informed last Thursday night.

Got my corrector plate cleaned up @ Bintel last week she is looking "smick" ready to correct some incoming light for the 10incher mirror waiting down below Just need to collimate my scope check those airy disks out tonight I hope...

Yeah it's looking patchy and on the satellite there looks like some more coming up form the south west.

Anyway, I got my scope control into a box and if it does happen to stay clear-ish here, I'll set up out in the courtyard and do some tests.

Cheers,
Simon
