SE Qld get together

[1ponders] (Paul) · #1 14-08-2005, 10:19 PM

Just thought I'd copy this here from one of the Astrofest posts, just incase the SE Qlders forgot. I'll definately be there.

For all you SE/Qld members I will have my place available for an astro night on the 3rd September if anyone is interested in coming, that is the night of the New Moon. astroron

Any other takers?

Paul / Ron
I'm not likely to make it - though you never know! I think I'll be heading out to Leyburn that weekend. Its been a while since I have been out there and it's about the same travel time for me to either location.

Hi guys - I am hoping to make Leyburn as well. Still hoping to get up your way at some stage Ron

Hi Ian, how long are you down here for ?astroron

[1ponders] (Paul) · #12 29-08-2005, 11:29 PM

Pop on up for a chat Ian. It's only an hour or so by train to Nambour and the train leaves right outside the airport. And its only half an hour to Ron's from Nambour.

Iddon · #13 29-08-2005, 11:48 PM

oops - will miss Leyburn as well. Doing Friday night with the scope in the field with my Scout group - so better reserve Saturday for the family.

Crash Nebula · #14 30-08-2005, 03:34 PM

I may be there, I am itching to test new scope. Biig 25mm plossl is begging for use (well, I think its big

)

Striker (Tony) · #15 30-08-2005, 03:51 PM

Sorry Paul....having an early father day dinner Saturday night and doing a basic Digital SLR course Saturday morning at Photo Continental.

Cant wait to take some terrestrial pics with the Canon 17-40L series lens.

[1ponders] (Paul) · #16 30-08-2005, 03:55 PM

Look forward to meeting you if you make it Charlie. Np piker striker

You'll get there one day.

Striker (Tony) · #17 30-08-2005, 04:08 PM

I so have the time now that things have settled down here at home so dont me count me out for future meets...I want to try my camera out on other scopes in dark sites ASAP.

Argonavis (William) · #18 05-09-2005, 12:35 PM

Paul, Dennis, Gordon

Hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did. I did bring a camera with me but as I was late it took me until dusk to set up so I didn't get any shots of the group. Did you take any people shots Paul? I thought the seeing was good tho not exceptional. Those who went to Leyburn were clouded out.

[1ponders] (Paul) · #19 05-09-2005, 02:26 PM

Yes I did Bill. See here: http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ead.php?t=3777

How was it! How was it! How was it! Did get out, but only from my apartment balcony in suburbia. Spent the weekend whale and dolphin watching from Straddie (my other "passion").
