Latest australian Sky and Telescope

[seeker372011]

Got it in the post today -as I am sure other subscribers did-and in the write up on the SPSP by Greg Bryant, Mike and Robby got a mention, as did Ice In space.

observing challenge for May will be to find me in the SPSP group photograph (for John (xstream) , Rod(star) , Robby and Mike(ice) who were at SPSP)

Particularly liked the Saturn images in this issue

Narayan I edited your thread title (it said Space instead of Telescope :)), and moved it to the S&A forum.

I heard that Greg was writing up the SPSP, looking forward to having a read. I have it on good authority that it will be in the newsagents by Wednesday next week.

It's a shame Rod, Robby and I couldn't make the group photo - we were off galavanting around Mudgee :)

Any IceInSpacers get any images published?

:ashamed::ashamed:



yes John Drummond's comet was featured

[Exfso]

That is interesting, as I rang the publishers because mine had not arrived, they told me subscribers would not be getting mailed out until today..

:confuse3:

[Greg Bryant]

Hi Exfso,

Subscriber copies were mailed on Monday here in Sydney. As you're in Adelaide, you'll probably receive it today or tomorrow.

we got a mention? yay! :)

[frogman]

Havent got it at the newsagents on the coast yet ? :(

Whats the subscription prize thingie ?
Might do it this edition.

I wonder why the hold up for you guys. I bought mine at the newsagent in Ballarat over a week ago!

[ballaratdragons]

No Saturn photos in my issue. Are you talking about the May or June issue?

[Rodstar]

I got mine today - the June edition, Ken.

Narayan - is that you just to the left (your right) of Xstream and Anna??

It's a great write up of the SPSP event, should give a good sense of how much fun it is to those who are thinking they might try it next year.

Regarding the comments in the article about looking through Mike Kerr's scope, I can concur. It was the most AMAZING thing I did the whole weekend, and that alone will get me back there next year!!!

Congrats John (Drummond) on yet another published image. You are running hot at the moment!

Hi y'all, FWIW, in the May issue, the article entitled ' The Quest for Celestial Fire', was submitted by 3 of our W.A.A.C.ers. Dave & Rudi are the 'SUN' nuts. Dave's got a few really nice pics. of the current spot & flares with his new Coronado Ha filter.
He wangled a free trip to the Antarctic in Nov.2003 on the Quantas flight for the total solar eclipse. (lucky b.)
:D L.

[iceman]

Rod, can you bring your copy along on Saturday night?

[Rodstar]

Sure Mike.

[entilzah]

mailed on monday that would make tassies arrive sometime next month then

[iceman]

Got my copy yesterday.. Haven't gone through the mag yet, but read the SPSP report.

Excellent report Greg, and thanks for the glowing mention of IceInSpace.. very kind of you.

did anyone happen to notice the Jupiter photo at the back by David Rigley aka "westsky"

Well done David. Great shot. :cool2:

[iceman]

I did see that too! Well done David! It's a lovely shot.

[iceman]

Narayan I found you in the group photo, as well as John and Anna.

I saw your head sticking out pretty much in the middle, a little towards the back.

[[1ponders]]

Did anyone pick Robby out up the back right?

[iceman]

Wasn't Robby with us (Rod and I) when that was taken? What day/time was that taken? Where were we Rod?

[Greg Bryant]

Hi Mike,

Glad you liked the SPSP article. It was a great weekend.

The group photo was taken around 1pm on the Saturday afternoon.

[[1ponders]]

I may be mistaken, but it sure looks like him.

[iceman]

Thanks Greg, well there you go Paul it wasn't Robby as we were out gallavanting around Mudgee :)

[xstream]

Hitting the Turps was more like it. :P :lol2:

[Robby]

Yep, that's me back right... No one noticed but my twin was there!
Nah, just kidding.
It is true I wasn't there for the photo unfortunately. We were busy tasting cheap Aussie wine and staring at dead kangaroos!...
I just read the article in question and see the reference to myself & Mike. Cool. I'll have to check the hit counter on the website to see if there has been an increase in web traffic.
The AS&T looks good. Still got a reasonable amount of "extra" content to justify the subscription to both US & Aus versions.
I was dissapointed that they both had the same cover photo this month though! Be easy to confuse the two on news-stands.
Cheers

[iceman]

They don't sell the US version in Aussie newsagents anymore..

but yeh good to see star-mate got mentioned too Robby, hope it gets you a few nibbles.

[Dave47tuc]

I'm really enjoying AS&T:D

Great to have a mag, coming out monthly. Wish the other one did:P

Well done to All at AS&T.:2thumbs:
