Re: Total Eclipse 2006

Hi Andy,

I'm taking a little 80mm F5 in my hand luggage, and a few of us are planing
to go observing the night before if it's clear. If we stay up late, those
extra 15 degrees or so mean we can catch all those southern Messier objects
which are difficult, or impossible, from the UK. We could even make a bit
of a Messier Marathon out of it :-).

Very best wishes and clear, dark skies.
