Wow RB - a terrific set of photos; it’s great to be able to put some names to faces.

Thanks!

Dennis

[h0ughy (David)]

great to see some faces and associate a name. For some reason people knew me but i did not know them. i do apologise for that?

[gary]

Thanks Andrew,

It was good to see you again.

Best regards

Gary

RB there is no doubt you certainly know how to use the camera. Excellent work.

[Omaroo (Chris Malikoff)]

Great stuff Andrew...but did anyone get any shots of us lot up on the imaging hill at all? I think Big Dave got a couple. I know we were a bit remote from everyone else down on the flats - which was a big pity.

[Deeno]

Nice thread Andrew
Its funny knowing people here in cyber space and having absolutly no idea what they look look like.
Whats even funnier is that I actualy met you almost two years ago on one of our observing jaunts and thought I was being stalked by a grinning stranger at the local shopping centre just a couple of months ago!!!

[Rick Petrie]

RB & Deeno
Classic candid captures.
Well done maties.

[Deeno]

While we are at it.....

We were lucky enough to have Fred (Bassnut) as a neighbor.
Fred's probably forgotten more stuff on astro imaging than your average punter has knows.
Not to mention his abundance of stories from his globe trotting adventures.
Should have taken a time lapse series of shots of Fred erecting his tent but, I only had a zillion gig of memory left for the camera

[rogerg (Roger)]

Good to see the pics

Every year I hope to get there, I'm looking forward to having the time and money for it some year soon
