Cheers Petra

[Starkler]

Hi Petra,

I tried without success to find info on the various accomodation options.
The resort website only mentioned squatters huts and powered sites.

[spacezebra]

Hi there Starkler

All registrations are to be made through the ASAW - Borderstargaze Registration page (refer the link in my first post or in my signature below).

Once you have arrived at the Registration Page (right hand side of "Step 1: Registration" ) you will find the following information plus a link to the Accommodation types.

Any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me directly or pm me. We will be posting an FAQ soon to cover the most common questions.

Regards
Border Stargaze organising committee..

[iceman]

I think he means he wants to look at the accommodation, not just what the rates are etc.

The form looks great Petra, i'll speak to my family and organise our registration in the coming weeks.

[spacezebra]

Hi all

We have provided descriptions at this stage as we are awaiting updated official photographs of the actual accommodation itself. As soon as that comes to hand we will post photos in our information pack (or on this site - if its okay with Mike).

Cheers Petra

[iceman]

Of course!

[spacezebra]

Thanks Mike

[spacezebra]

Hi all

WOW! We have booked out Park Units already! Get in quick.

Cheers Petra

[Rodstar]

Can you just clarify Petra, if I book a settlers hut for me and two kids, is the charge for accomodation, all up, $190, for the Friday and Saturday night? Do we have to share with another family, or do we get the hut all to ourselves?

[iceman]

I'm after one of the cabin thingies with heating, TV, kitchenette etc for a family. What are they called?

Keep me one aside Petra, i'll make a booking on Monday. :D

[spacezebra]

Hi Rod

You will have a "Squatters Hut" all to your self, children and your SDM. All up $190 for two nights(Accommodation only - family rate). Note that this is the top range of accommodation available. (Amendment made ).

Your registration best option would be One Adult and two children.




Cheers Petra

[spacezebra]

Hi Mike

The Squatters Huts - are the top of the range accommodation (no Spa sorry!):D. I have just spoken to the Project Manager and he has advised "get in quick;)!"

Cheers Petra

[iceman]

ok I've registered and booked for a squatters hut.

Is it correct that I need to indicate family rate + 1 extra child (eliza - as abbey is under 4) for the registration, and the same for the accommodation?

Let me know if I've done it incorrectly.

Looking forward to it!

[spacezebra]

Hi Mike

Yes, you are correct.

Cheers Petra

[spacezebra]

Hi all

We totally thrilled with such an early response to such a very new Star Party.

Thank you to all the IceInSpacers at that have registered so far.

Please note that registrations are moving fast - so best advice I can give is "get in early":D.

[Starkler]

Now theres one less :D

[spacezebra]

Hi Geoff

Excellent, it will be great to see you here! Did you have any difficulties registering - looking for feedback on the registration process.

Cheers Petra

[Starkler]

Hi petra, just a few things worth highlighting with the reg process.

One thing that wasn't made clear in page 3? was that the bank details for direct transfer would disappear off my screen after clicking 'next' ... ie no prompt to do it then and there.

After clicking forward and realising my mistake I clicked back on my browser and the order number had changed. thankfully I had written it down first.

Whats also not clear is the room prices. They state twin share minimum and then a price for extra adults. Im assuming the base price given ($60 for leisure unit) is the charge for the room with up to two people? ( or is it for each person each night?)

[spacezebra]

Hi Geoff

Thank you for the feedback - we will highlight the point at step 2.

The "Room/Night" naming convention is a requirement of the Great Aussie Resort (prior to its change over to Aspen Parks). We will update the Rates pages to clarify it as a "per night" where applicable. You are correct as it is a "Room per night" charge, not per person charge.

However, an extra adult would be $11.00 per night = 2 nights $22.

Keep the feedback coming - we would like to ensure that this is spot on!

Cheers Petra

[33South]

Glad I wasn't the only one confused :screwy:over the pricing

Anyway booked and paid, correctly I hope, looking forward to it.

Cheers Petra

[GTB_an_Owl]

Yeah - well the Owl is in

toss up between Qld and down south - you won Petra

Mmmmm, i wonder why i chose south ? :cold:

(besides the personal invitation)

:lol: _______________ ;)

geoff

[spacezebra]

Hey there Geoff

I just came back from Brisbane and it was a little bit chilly to say the least. Here in Australia you just dont know what you are going to get in terms of weather.

Welcome aboard - we should have the prize page ready to go in the next few days.

Cheers Petra

[Starkler]

Its going to be a wee bit chilly at BSG. Planning on bringing some freezer suits along? I would be interested but dont want to buy before trying it on for size

[GTB_an_Owl]

Yes Geoff, i will be bringing some with me, but i would suggest you look at the sizing guide and get what you want before hand.
i won't be bringing truckloads, and i'm sure what i do bring won't last long if this weather lasts - damn cold even up here.

we can always work an exchange, if we have to, when i get down there.
have a look for the old freezer suit thread - sizes are in there somewhere

geoff

[spacezebra]

Hi all

Prize Page will go live by end of week!
And we are getting close to 80 Registrations:eyepop:! Which is excellent for our very first Star Party.

Spots are filling fast so please book early!

Cheers Petra

[spacezebra]

Hi all

We have just received an email that Rob McNaught will be donating the following prize for Border Stargaze

A framed set of 4 10x15cm images of the comet!:eyepop: :eyepop: :eyepop: :eyepop: .

Cheers Petra

[h0ughy]

well done guys and gals, I hope the event is a ripper. Gee you really have to attend to get in to the raffle for the poster??????

[spacezebra]

Hey David

We are trying to get the prize page published - but more prizes keep coming in. Full list of prizes will be published by the weekend, including a post on IIS.


Cheers Petra

[h0ughy]

BUt I am Committed (well my wife wishes:lol: ) to QLd, I promised Paul a real ginger beer(not the bundy stuff - the saxby real ginger beer:whistle: ), and Dennis needs to play with my Pentax K10D, and then there are the guys and gals from up north that unwittingly have met me and luckly have forgotten it:lol: :whistle: , so they need reminding what a real counterweight Tossing Champion looks like:rofl: .

I do wish I was going, but 6 days of imaging V's 2 nights does outweight any advantage of 5 star accomodation:whistle:

[spacezebra]

Hi David

We totally understand, have fun and enjoy... Maybe one year we can entice you down this way. But we have to start small before we turn it into a month long extravaganza!!!!!!

Cheers Petra

[spacezebra]

Hi all

Update!
We are at 85 Registrations:eyepop:! Which is excellent for our very first Star Party.

Spots are filling fast so please book early!

Cheers Petra

[Omaroo]

Hi Petra - I'm booked :)

I'll be coming down with the camper trailer for Friday and Saturday nights. I'm not sure yet, but Mark Suchting is probably coming down in my car as well.

Looking forward to my third star party this year :) :thumbsup:

Cheers
Chris

[iceman]

Fantastic Chris! Will be great to catch up with you, Jenny and Mark again.

[Omaroo]

Likewise Mike :)

Jenny isn't coming this time though - too much work on I'm afraid. :(

This just means that I can stay up later :thumbsup: I sure hope that Mark can bring the binos along again.....

:whistle:

[iceman]

Tell Jenny we'll miss her! :sadeyes:

I'm sure I owe you a few tinned hams or other condiments too :)

[leon]

I know I'm late but I'll be there as well, looking forward to the experience.

Cheers Leon

[Omaroo]

Excellent Leon - I'm looking forward to meeting you. :)

What scope are you bringing?

[Omaroo]

hehe.. I will :)

You're welcome to share our condiments any time Mike :hi:

[spacezebra]

Hi Chris

Welcome aboard - this is great! Looking forward to seeing you both:hi:.


Cheers Petra

[spacezebra]

Hi all

Update!
We are at 90 Registrations - 27 days to go!:eyepop::eyepop:!

Dont forget the FREE breaky on the Sunday morning, bacon, eggs, juice, tea, coffee! Hey Ill even make some pancakes, if requested!

Cheers Petra

[Omaroo]

Cheers Petra - looking forward to it! THose Queenslanders can have their warm weather - cold and clear is what I want! :)

Is there some sort of description available in regards to the "powered site" accommodation that I've specified? I have a camper trailer that I'm bringing, and would like to set up next to it. Is that possible? Can I leave the car with it too, as that is where I draw power from? Is it close to the main viewing areas?

Sorry for so many questions :eyepop:

Cheers
Chris

[The Unbeliever]

Hi Chris,

The powered sites are restricted to 10mts square which is the resorts policy. The layout of the resort has the accommodation in a large oval area with the observing field approximately 100 metres to the east.

If you visit the ASAW website and download the information pack we have included a vehicle and light policy that may entice you to setup on the main field with your vehicle.

Happy to answer any questions.

Regards
Dave & Petra

[merlin8r]

Hi Guys,
Finally booked and paid. Do you think it's at all possible to set up reasonably close to my tent, so that I may use the mains power from there? The extension cords required may present a safety issue, but mains power makes imaging a whole lot easier.
Look forward to seeing you all there!

Clear skies,
Shane

[spacezebra]

Hi Shane

PM sent - looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Cheers Petra

[spacezebra]

Hi all

Update!

100 Registrations - 17 days to go!:eyepop::eyepop:

The weather has been absolutely brilliant and its getting warmer.

Cheers Petra

[h0ughy]

well done guys

[iceman]

Congrats to the BSG committee, excellent news.

[spacezebra]

Hi all

9 days and counting.

The Free breakfast on the Sunday has grown since we last updated our info - to include Eggs, Bacon, Beans, Toast and Juice:eyepop:.

We are all getting very excited.

Cheers Petra

[niko]

Petra,

we're getting excited too - don't worry !!! :-)

This'll be our first star party and we're really looking forward to it.

Fingers crossed for good skies

Nick & Angelina

[janoskiss]

Wow, sounds like it's going to be huge. Unfortunately I cannot say whether I can make it till the last minute.

[leon]

Ah, it is looks like it is shaping up to be a big one, hope the weather is clear:prey:

Leon :thumbsup:

[spacezebra]

Hi all

Only 6 sleeps to go - are you as excited as me:D :D :D :D :D :D :D ?

120 registrations:eyepop:.

Cheers Petra

[leon]

Yea Petra, were stoked, :D well at least i am.;)

Leon :thumbsup:

[Omaroo]

Petra - I'm sorry, but I won't be able to make it due to a family crisis that has just occured.

Please keep my fees and donate them to the ASAW.

Cheers
Chris

[anthony2302749]

Hi Petra

:party:I am pretty excited and am looking forward to being there.:party:

I would also like to congratulate you and the committee for the wonderful job in organising such an event, Champaign for all.:2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:

Anthony

P.S. Did you get the message about the 10" LB

[iceman]

Sorry to hear it Chris, I hope everyone is well.

I am excited!

[Rob_K]

We're all excited here too - there's a few of us coming from the Bright Astronomy Group! Well done to the ASAW on their comprehensive info pack, and the hard work they've put into organising the event :thumbsup:. And now.... just the wait!! :)

Cheers -

[spacezebra]

Hi all

Yes! only a few more sleeps! Thank you for all your kind comments, its been 18 months in the planning and now we are down to only a few days to go.

I'm in Canberra for a few days however do not hesitate to send any questions or concerns to the Border Stargaze email address, our hardworking committee will be on hand to answer your email or call you directly.

If I do not get an opportunity to loggin again before Friday, may I wish you a pleasant and safe journey. See you all soon.:)

Cheers Petra

[GTB_an_Owl]

OK - they have all left for Qld
so how about generating a bit of traffic here now

who's going - and when are you getting there

i will be there thursday nite with my son inlaw Scott (he is going to lift all my heavy boxes)

geoff

[Rodstar]

Hey Geoff!

The Berries are heading down to Canberra to stay overnight on Thursday, and then heading on to Border Stargaze on Friday. Depending on distractions on the way, we should get to the site by mid afternoon Friday.

See you all there!

[iceman]

My family and I will be there on Thursday, mid-arvo I reckon.

[GTB_an_Owl]

any one would think it was a LOOONG way away Rod

i have to admit it will be the furthest i have traveled in my 60 years

geoff

[merlin8r]

I'll be there Friday morning I hope, if I can drag my sorry butt out of bed early enough. Will be the furthest I've ever driven, and the furthest south I've been.

Clear skies,
Shane

[erick]

Way off thread, but I'm astonished, Geoff and Shane. How can you have driven so little, living in Australia. Victoria to Queensland is a Sunday drive for me. Loved doing the Melbourne to Perth trip many years ago. Did 16,000km in one multi-week road trip Vic/NSW/Qld/SA in 1999. :rover2::driving:

[merlin8r]

Hi Erick,
Sorry mate. I travelled extensively when I was younger, spent years overseas. I'm just lazy and prefer to fly if I need to go far enough away. Plus I've only ever owned small cars, which aren't great for long distance travel. Thankfully the boss has kindly offerred me the services of his station wagon again, as I am representing the company. So the drive should be a bit more comfortable.
One day mate, one day.

Clear skies,
Shane

[GTB_an_Owl]

a sheltered life Erick

but i am looking forward to the time i can do ALL the starparty's and drive where ever and whenever i want

geoff

[erick]

Most acceptable responses! :) Don't think I can sneak the 8" OTA on the plane as hand luggage :sadeyes: so I'm thinking about how to carry it and base in a trailer for longer trips!

[Rob_K]

So Erick, are you going to do the mere hop-step-&-jump to the BSG? :whistle:

I'll rock up about Friday lunchtime, just me and a car load of junk!! Although after Erick's comments, I might just walk. Hardly worth starting up the car really.:P :lol:

Cheers -

[erick]

I wish, Rob. I'm afraid my years are pretty much planned out for me for various reasons.

I'm planning on Snake Valley in November as my first Astro camp. Then I'll look further ahead. Next year I already have little leave left for astronomy pursuits - and I suspect my wife would like us to spend some leave together and I know that an astronomy camp is not her idea of fun. :sadeyes: But I hope to turn up some weekends at the various camps & star parties.

[Rob_K]

Good weather coming!

The weather is looking good for the BSG on the weekend - SW Slopes forecast is fine for Fri/Sat, but a little cloud Sat night. There's some weather moving in later on Sunday, but we'll be headed home by then. Roll on!! :)

Cheers -

[xstream]

I've been watching the weather reports with baited breath too, Rob.

Looking real good at this stage, fingers & toes crossed! :thumbsup:

[Starkler]

I'll roll up Friday afternoon. Look forward to seeing you all there :thumbsup:

[gary]

Have safe trips and we look forward to seeing you all at Border Stargaze.

[GTB_an_Owl]

I won't forget Gary

:lol::lol: :whistle:

mine are all in the back of the ute waiting to leave about 9am in the morning

geoff

[spacezebra]

Hi all

Well we have arrived home and we are all throughly exhausted. I will place a full report very soon. The highlight of the weekend, for me - getting to meet so many new faces and although the weather was not ideal we had a great time.

Second highlight - having David Levy on the phone to Rob McNaught.!:eyepop:

Cheers Petra

[merlin8r]

It was an awesome event. The planning that went into it was so obvious, the vast number of the public that attended, the hookup with David Levy, and just how many public officials turned up. In the end foiled by the one thing you couldn't plan around: The weather. Still, Friday night cleared up a bit later (after the public had left) to get some good observing done. And the first opportunity for me to use my 10" under dark winter skies.
As a vendor, well since I was going anyway, if I sold anything we were in front, and I did. Always a good opportunity for me to buy stuff from our competitors too, since walking into their shops would probably result in my bursting into flames or something.
Petra and Dave were always smiling, always there to lend a hand, even when they were in the middle of something far more important, and I want some pillows! My hat comes off to you both, and your team, for pulling off such a unique event. Make sure you do it again next year.

Clear skies (MWUHUHARHARHAR),
Shane

[gaa_ian]

Good on you Petra, congratulations :thumbsup:
I know how you feel, I did a full on event at the Garma festival, we were all shattered by the end, but on a real high.
http://ntstargazer.blogspot.com/

Now for the main Event, our Arnhemland Astronomy & Science on fair 25-8.
Getting bigger by the day, I am going into a promotional blitz ATM as well as the last bit of planning !
Its a vital thing to have a good committee behind you.

[Starkler]

I didn't get to say goodbye and thank you on Sunday morning to Petra, John, Anna and all the crew at ASAW for all their hard work to give us a marvelous and very well run event.

You all did a great job. Thank you!

[h0ughy]

been away in Qld at Astrofest, we were clouded out for 1 night. So did you manage to get in any viewing?

[gary]

Hi h0ughy,

Great to hear you got some observing in at Qld Astrofest.

On Friday night, we did indeed get some observing in.

I borrowed an 18" Obsession for the weekend which we drove down from
Sydney. I set it up on the Friday afternoon shortly after arrival, but the
cloud cover did not look promising so I pulled the cover over the scope.

I began chatting with Iceman as we watched sucker holes appear.
We happened to be standing next to another 18" Obsession that was going
unused and each time Mike commandeered it to point it at Jupiter, the sucker
hole would close. We therefore continued talking and there was no way I was
about to tempt fate and uncover the 18 I had brought down knowing that
would guarantee the cloud would never lift. I have no idea what time it
got to, maybe as late as 21:30, when Rod Berry moseyed over and asked
what we were gas-bagging about and whether we were going to do any
observing. Mike and I glanced up and indeed it had cleared. The feint had
worked. By pretending not to be interested, the Weather Gods slipped-up
and allowed an opportunity. We went and uncovered the 18 I had brought,
fired-up the Argo Navis and ServoCAT and set to it.

Mike and Rod were sans-scopes of their own, having decided to load the
family cars with family instead, but 18" of mirror is plenty to share around.
However, Rod did remind us constantly that the extra 2" afforded by a 20"
is better than 18".

The seeing was mediocre to say the least, but we did entertain three young
grateful Albury-Wodonga locals who went home happy. Mike had caught a
virus and was unfortunately feeling a little under the weather and I guess
he retired a bit past midnight. Around 00:30, John Bambury rolled-in with
Sue and Jake, also sans-scope. Rod, John and I therefore did some additional
observing together, including some nice galaxies in Indus and Recticulum.
The Dumbbell was looking very nice. I put the scope cover back on around
3:30am by which time it was eight octas cloud coverage again.

As you know, any star party where you get at least a few hours observing in
is a good star party. However, the organization, ammenity and camaraderie
at Border Stargaze made it a great star party.

Kate Salway won a Meade 10" LightBridge which undoubtedly left Mike
with a problem. Since there would be insufficient space in the family car
to fit all members of the family and the scope, I can only guess one
would have to put one of the youngsters on the train back to Sydney
with a sign around their neck and some money for a taxi ride back home
from the station. I would guess you could just get the kids to pick straws
to decide who would catch the train. However, I am sure each family
probably has their own unique way of dealing with logistical
problems such as these when they arise at star party prize draws. ;)

Congratulations to ASAW and all concerned on a great success! :thumbsup:

Best regards

[Rodstar]

Nothing so dire Gary!

The mirror (in its very large box) is sitting in my lounge room, having been entrusted to the care of the Berries while Mike and family head to the Snow for a few days. As far as I am aware, Mike was able to squeeze the second box into his station wagon without too much trouble.:)

[gary]

Hi Rod,

Great to hear you were able to help come to the rescue once again!

Best Regards

Gary

[Rodstar]

Thanks to the gang at the Alb-Wod Astro Soc for all of their organisational efforts. John, Anna, David, Petra...take a bow!

A highlight for me this year was that my WHOLE family went, and that everyone had such a good time. Very cool to have one's wife to come home to after some late night observing with the boys! We were not disappointed with the accomodation, which was very comfortable (Squatter's hut).

Thanks to Gary, Mai, Mike and John for some great time spent together at the EP of the 18" Obsession. It was great to see Geoff's 15" SDM, which is a work of art and buttery smooth in its motions. I also enjoyed meeting Rob (and his 30" home-made truss dob), as well as Dave Chandler's brother and neice and nephew, whilst partaking in Pinot Noir, then some Rum and Coke (thanks Dave!).

Miles Allen must be one of the funniest people I have ever come across. His joke about Olaf had me wiping my eyes I was laughing so much. Loved the Cosmodome, too, as did the kiddies!

I enjoyed meeting Rob McNaught, and to walk away with a personally signed photo of his famous comet is very cool!

It was also great to catch up with Peter Read, and to see Sue Bambury and Jake, who tagged along for the weekend.

One little story I must tell. On the Friday night, we had a couple of loose "kangaroos" on the top paddock. By kangaroos, I mean cars with headlights, doing laps of the observing field, completely clueless as to how to get out. Had the conditions not been so windy (and therefore the seeing so poor) at that satge, there may well have been a public lynching. I am not sure how the cars got up there, and why the drivers thought it was appropriate to move their vehicles at 11.00pm, but it truly was high farce and comedy all in one.

It was surprising that so many people packed up early on Friday night, as, whilst the conditions were windy at times, there were periods of relative stability where things improved considerably. John B, Gary and I saw some good details in some lesser known NGC galaxies later in the evening and 47 Tuc was looking very nice indeed.

It was a shame that Saturday night was a washout, but some good company was still had in the hall.

My wife has remarked that it is a risky business driving 6 or 7 hours in the hope that the sky is clear. This star party is testimony to the fact that it doesn't really matter whether the sky is clear....we amateur astronomers will always find something to amuse us.

[ausastronomer]

Um Rod:D

7 hours drive is a minimalist effort. As you know Gary K, Andrew and I travelled over 20,000 miles to Texas to get clouded out. :screwy: Having said that, the observing to me at such events is a secondary attraction. As you know I have ready access to premium equipment, good observing buddies and dark skies. I go to "public" star parties to meet people, make new friends and be a part of the whole social scene. The TSP was the best astronomy experience of my life despite only 1.5 clear nights from 7. To me these things are about the social side of astronomy and in this respect both TSP and BSG excelled in every respect.

The Texas Star party which Gary, Andrew and I attended is probably the best run and organised Star party on the planet. So it should be considering the length of time it has been going, the huge number of vounteer workers involved, its access to the massive Prude Ranch, the number of attendees, and the budget they have. BSG in its inaugural year excelled in every respect IMO. The organisation and co-ordination of the entire event from start to finish was superb. The venue, facilities and accomodation were excellent. I think it is a tremendous event that can only grow to be a huge success in the coming years.

A job well done to all involved in the organisation of BSG.

Cheers-John B

Hi John,
Wow what a write up, we have spent countless hours on the planning for the event and it is rewarding when you read the feedback that you and Gary Kopff have written. We have effectively put ourselves under the microscope for the next one.
