Hi guys,
I signed up to the forum yesterday and have already put in a booking for several of us to come to the star camp. I thought I would briefly introduce myself.

I bought a Celestron C8NGT at Christmas last year and after several weeks of cloud I was finally able to use it in time to catch Saturn! Eventually I sussed out a rough alignment procedure and now I seem to be cooking. Prior this my only scope was a Tasco 60mm which I got for Christmas in the early 1970's.

I am hoping the camp will give me some practical insight to aligning and collimating my scope and how to keep the pesky mozzies away in summer and the fogging up in winter! I also have a Coronado PST which, to quote our daughter, is "So cool". By the time of the camp, I hope to find the finances to double stack it and get even better views.

Thats all from me for the moment.

Hi 1o1 :)

:welcome: to the forum, and thanks for saying g'day! :)

Great to hear that you're coming to the starcamp - i'm guessing you heard about the site (and starcamp) through the activities/events article in AS&T?

Where abouts is Bentleigh?

I'm envious of your PST - I'd love to get one in the future and do some webcamming through it. Hopefully they'll come down in price in the next 6-12 months. :)

Hope you enjoy your visits at IceInSpace, feel free to ask any questions or offer any of your experience.. and look forward to meeting you at the StarCamp in October!

one ofone, welcome to another fellow C8NGT observer..there are way too many Meades around here, good to see the balance being restored (slightly)
