Hi all,

The IAA observing group's next planned observing session is this weekend at our usual spot down at Delamont Country Park. The forecast for Friday 4th is mostly cloudy so tonight is cancelled. Tomorrow is looking a bit better so check back at 6pm on Saturday 5th

If anyone needs directions to Delamont, let me know, text or ring me on 07808736963

I'd like to take this opportunity to invite any new or non members to join us, if you need any advice on observing or equipment, we'll be glad to help, See you there.

Hi folks,

Thanks to everyone who made it to Delamont last night, clear skies most of the time and little wind so although it was cold, it wasn't to bitter. Thanks to Ivan's 12", we bagged a pile of galaxies and other DSO's, as well as a couple of Iridium flares. M42 was spectacular, the best I've seen it for a few years.

Thanks for the link Colin, I think those Celestron 15x70 are a bargain!

If its clear next weekend, we'll do it all again!

Clear skies
David
