Observing at the Sugarloaf - 20/05/22

Hi Paul, 

Very many thanks for sharing some tips and techniques with me. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to sketch anything last night as there was too much cloud to even bring the scope out of the car.

All was not lost though as it was great to chat with Aubrey, Ben, Marty and Michael last night....you were missed though. So hopefully, we'll get to see you at the next one. In the meantime, I'm off to have a look at some of those sketches you did. 

Clear skies and thanks, 
Darren. 

You will have to go back a long way, Darren, about 10 or 11 years in the reports and sketches section.

Hi Paul, I went back on all the pages on the observational and sketching forum and was blown away by many of the sketches that have been submitted over the years. Your sketches of the M3 and M13 are some of the best I've seen.. Honestly, M13 is incredible. You've a real talent there! 

Thanks again and clear skies, 
Darren. 

 

Hello, Darren, Michael and Paul. 

Thank you for encouraging me to get out of the house even for just a little while on Friday night. 
It was also very good to chat to Marty for the first time. 

Maybe we could try to meet up again next Friday. 
That would be great. 

Clear skies from Aubrey. 

Hi Aubrey, 

You can count me in. 

Clear skies, 
Darren. 

Thank you, Darren. 

I would say 9pm next Friday night would be sufficient to meet up. 

By the way, we just might have some clear nights coming our way over the next few nights. 
If so, I will be observing on both Monday and Tuesday nights. 
But not on Wednesday. 
It's my birthday!

Clear skies from Aubrey.
