Saturday Night Observing Session

Will it be windy though?

Aubrey.

I don't think so Aubrey, whatever wind there will be will come from the east, according to the weather forecast tonight.

Troopers town is good for me. The darker skies from there will be a big plus. It should just require repositioning the scopes, etc to spot the really low-down DSOs.

Re: wind conditions ... Trooperstown will be sheltered ... but no avoiding the gales if someone has beans for dinner

I would be more inclined towards Trooperstown, last night, just before midnight, there was a lot of mist to the south, the Sugarloaf, being closer to the sea, is more susceptible to these mists, especially if the evening is calm, as it was last night.

Shall we say Trooperstown then? Meet around 9.30 or 10?

I might make it down. Can someone pm me the coordinates of where on Trooperstown?

I would like to make it for 9pm. I can set up the scope while it is still bright. I have not been to Trooperstown yet. Can we have directions please for those who are new to the site? Thanks.

Aubrey.
