Sugarloaf Observing Session Saturday Night

Wowsers, is there going to be enough parking up there. Theres 16 members (me included) from Dave B's Meetup group RSVP'd to attend. Add the 5 or 6 from these forums and you got yourselves a bona fide Star Party !!
Theres been outreach sessions that haven't attracted that many people Definately don't think theres enough space outside Healy's pottery for the pre meetup....eh meetup

I shall be attending with my 80mm F3.7 Achromatic Stellarvue F80 Finderscope on Celestron GT Goto mount :whistle: The 3 year mothballing of me 16" Dob continues I done broke it and still haven't had time to fix it .

I wonder if anyone might let me hook up my Sky-Fi unit to their scope to try out Sky Safari planetarium app on the oul iPhone. The celestron handset of the mount I bought for the finderscope is too old to be compatible. I've an observing list of 50 carbon stars imported into the program btw

My Saviour's Name is Jesus, and I don't think He likes hearing his name as a sware word.
