Do you have any further thoughts about the weather on Friday night?
If so, there will be 3 stars have their occultations with the Moon.
The first is going to be a K7 star.
These stars can appear almond brown.
The second and third are a double star called Tau Tauri.
Now all we need are clear skies.

I have such a busy day today Friday.
So I have decided to empty the car anyway.
But I won't load up my equipment until nearer 6pm.
By the way, I'm getting the booster today at 2pm.
Clear skies from Aubrey.

It looks unlikely I can make it tonight. If I did I could only join you late. But as you say chances of us going to observe are quite slim as the weather forecast does not look promising.
All the best,
Darren.
I did manage to get about 30mins with Jupiter early in the week. So at least that's something!

The forecast is not looking good but I'm happy to do up and give it a go.
Are you still interested?
Michael.

I'm still game - even though it's overcast here in Dublin.
