I haven't been out to SPOC yet, but I was thinking about Friday night. Since I have some plans for Saturday, I'll probably wuss out halfway through the night. Is the layout at SPOC such that I can leave without my headlights ticking everyone off? Michael On Mar 16, 2004, at 7:15 PM, Patrick Wiggins wrote:

We'll be using the Ealing for the marathon. The refractor is not the best for deep sky (it's a 200 mm f/16.8) so we'll probably use it for the planets If you have never seen Jupiter and Saturn (especially Saturn) through a largish refractor this is your chance.
This is not a public event but members of other clubs are welcome to attend.
Lots of room on the grounds around the observatory for portable scopes.
