Reports - 11th SNAKE VALLEY ASTRONOMY CAMP - Nov 2010

[multiweb (Marc)]

Timelapse is superb as always. Like the black and white group shot too. Great pants Jen. Looks like you had fun. So.... did you dive?

[niko]

and the party goes on!!

Great timelapse Alex - great to see what all that clicking in the corner of the field was about!

Jen - good on you! Great photo and I notice that you've been checking out the EQ mounts. I'm sure something will come you're way.

Roobi - you go girl! Building your own, that's amazing but then Alistair's mount was total inspiration. I have been raving about the camp too but I think people's eye's have begun to glaze over!

I even took the 10" dob to volleyball last night and managed to show the briefest glimpses of the moon and jupe to some very excited people - sidwalk astronomy!

cheers

No evidence it was hit by the slasher/mower, so I think it has to be from our camp.

PM me if it is yours.

(I searched hard, but didn't find any Ethos eyepieces in the grass over near Alex's location! )
