Hi all

When we were at the top of the mountain at IISAC2007 on the Saturday night, we had about 100 people there waiting for it to get dark, and John (xstream) suggested a group photo that we can superimpose a comet picture on later..

So here it is! :)

It was then suggested that we could make the image into a t-shirt, "I saw Comet McNaught at IISAC2007".

So this thread is to get some interest from people who would be interested in buying a t-shirt with this picture on it. Its audience is probably limited to people who actually attended, but who knows? :)

Sizes available from XS, all the way to 3XL. The t-shirt would probably be white, and would probably cost $20-$25, with postage an additional $5.

I'd need about 30 committed orders to get the run done, as digitizing the image for print isn't cheap!

Thanks

It is a very nice thing...but, I reckon you have to be in the picture for it to have real value and meaning...no thanks...but it is a great idea and picture.

Hi Mike,

I think its a great idea! :) But I also share the same sentiments as Dave . I feel that one needs to have been there that night for it to have meaning and kudos.

I think about the questions people will also ask, "oh did u see it?" and the response being, "well not exactly.....I saw it the previous night" and the whole conversation goes from being a corker to a fizzer!!!:P :rofl:
Maybe I'm looking at it too deeply!:screwy:

But it is a terrific idea!

Mike,

I would like to order 2 medium adult sizes and 1 medium child size for Jake please. You can hang on to the refund money you owe me from IISAC 2007 and offset that against the shirt cost and I will just pay you the difference.

Somewhat !!!!

I got up the mountain too late on the Saturday Night and didn't get into the group photo. Andrew Murrell and I were about the "LAST" to leave the mountain each night.

Do you think that's stopping me buying 3 shirts, 1 each for my wife and son who weren't even at IISAC this year? You're not even going to be able to figure out who's head is who by the time it gets on a shirt :).

Lachlan McDonald, Tony Buckley and myself all wore a blue T-Shirt monogrammed "Deepest South Texas Star Party" at various stages of IISAC 2007. Not too many asked us if we had to been to "TEXAS" :).

Great! Thanks for everyone's interest.

It's clear now that there's enough interest to get a run done, so I'll put the orders in as soon as Alan Meehan is back from holidays. They probably won't be ready for 4-6 weeks.

I'll get an order form online ASAP, so you can confirm your interest by putting an order in and making payment.

For others that haven't replied yet, please continue to do so, as it will ensure I get enough done - especially of the popular sizes.

Thanks

Since this thread was bumped by someone voting, I may as well add an update:

The shirts will hopefully be printed in the next month, and then they'll be available for those that have pre-ordered and those that want to order.

I'll put up a booking form in the next few weeks so you can commit to your pre-order with payment :)

Yes, still happening. I'll be checking with Alan Meehan this weekend at SPSP - i'm hoping they'll be on the print run in the next 2 weeks.

I'll get an official order form up and running next week.
