If I have nothing else on that night I'll be there Michael, with the SCT.

Hi Michael and Paul. Remember me??

Hoping to have the scope ready for this. You know, the one I started modding nearly 2 years ago :bricks: If not come and shoot me

Anyway, I was just wondering about the Saturn bit. Eh?? Don't the Park Rangers usually kick us out about 10pm? Saturn will still only be 13º in Altitude by 10pm. Will it be visible over the valley wall?

Regards

Keith

Hi Michael and Paul. Remember me??

No. :stooges:

It will be great to see the scope, whoever you are.

Was that the guy who saw the Venus occultation with us? He brought a 12" reflector in the back of a black Audi TT? The Venus occultation happened on the 1st December 2008. There was a group of us on a back road in Greystones with Deirdre Kellegan.

Yours, Aubrey.

That's the man Aubrey.
