Meetup : Melbourne LW Outing: Astronomy evening in Eltham, Saturday 29th June, 5:30pm

This event replaces the cancelled rock climbing event.

Come to my place this Saturday 29th June at sunset for an casual evening of astronomy. I will host a tour of the solar system and the cosmos from 5:30pm to late. We should be able to see Venus, the Milky Way and Magellenic clouds, the rings and moons of Saturn, and a bunch of nebulae and clusters. There is a 30% chance of cloud cover according to http://www.skippysky.com.au/Australia/ and http://weatherspark.com/#!dashboard;q=melbourne, so we will have backup plans if it clouds over. We have a big house so if you want to bring food to cook for dinner and/or a sleeping bag and gear to stay the night then feel free. Plenty of car parking at the top of the driveway, and use a GPS to avoid getting lost. If coming by public transport call my mobile and I'll pick you up from Eltham train station. Guests can stay until 8:30am Sunday morning. Please call me on 0407943917 for last minute RSVPs, or for directions.
