SE Qld get together

[[1ponders]]

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



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.

[Iddon]

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 :thumbsup:

[[1ponders]]

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]

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.

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

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.

Look forward to meeting you if you make it Charlie. Np piker striker :P :lol: You'll get there one day.

[Striker]

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.

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]]

Yes I did Bill. See here: http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.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").

See Pauls report and images in the post above yours,it wasa good night, seeing average but quite a few objects where observed with a 25" 16" 10" and a C90 scopes plus some imaging with Pauls setup before close down at 01:00 due to cloud cover, but it was most enjoyable night just the same.astroron :thumbsup: :astron:

[dhumpie]

Yup saw the report. Some dark sky observing is always better than none :)
