Sugarloaf Observing Session Saturday Night

Hi there all

It looks like the weather for Saturday night/Sunday morning is promising.

Anyone up for an observing session at the Sugarloaf?

Paul

If it going to happen count me in!i was planning to go there for a while now to try Mikes scope

I shall definitely be there complete with my 6.2" apo and 5 layers on me and the woolley hat on my head ready for action at about 7pm till midnight.
I shall be hunting down R Leporis once last time -the reddest star in the sky.

Hi Paul, Martin & Aubrey,

David Branigan has organised an observing session of his "Dublin Stargazers" meetup group at Sugarloaf from 7.30 on Saturday, so you should have plenty of company. I was hoping to be there myself, but it's doubtful now because of family commitments.

Hi Aubrey,

Have you observed W Orionis, X Cancri, V Hydrae or RY Draconis? They are said to be deep orange or red. If I do make it on Saturday I'll have a crack at them, as well as R Leporis of course. If we stay up really late we could try T Lyrae. Being a Corkman, I like red.

Hi Mike. I have observed W Orionis and X Cancri. I have also observed 26 carbon stars.
