I haven't seen a detailed weather forecast for tomorrow night in Galway. Are many people bringing telescopes just in case of clear skies?

I had planned bringing mine on Saturday but the weather is not looking good, still worth bring it just in case.

I'm chucking an 8" truss into the boot along with an electric cattle-prod. My neat little 8" will act as a decoy to attract most astronomers... and the cattle-prod is to stop Dave hogging the eyepiece of his 20" :D

Hi

Would anyone have a spare 497 autostar cable that I could borrow. My last one broke on me and the one I ordered from Telescope House has still not arrived.

Otherwise my scope stays put :(
