Anyone in the SAS?? Thinking of joining (well, I sure im going to join). I just wanted to get to know members of SAS before joining so I don't feel like a complete stranger when joining...

Cheers,
Tony:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Hi Tony.

I've been a member since about September. It seems like a good group, with a wide variety of interests.

Regards,
Eric

[that_guy]

Sweet! thanks Eric,Did you pay by cheque via mail for the membership fee??

Cheers,
Tony

[that_guy]

Is Eric the only SAS member here ???

[citivolus]

I paid cash at a meeting :)

I could point out several other SAS members, but I'm letting them 'fess up on their own. That, and I don't know all of their forum names.

Regards,
Eric

Hi Tony.

You would be indeed most welcome at the meeting. Great bunch of people, very easy going. I will be there on the 27th, so come along will introduce you. Have you looked at the SAS website and specifically Event Horizon (the societies newsletter) it gives lots of good information as well as the new meeting place.

All the best.

PeterM.

Is this in January 27th because the event horizon only starts from march

[Argonavis]

The next SAS meeting is on the 23rd of January at Livingstone Christian College Ormeau, commencing at 7.30pm.

No appointment necessary, just turn up, you will be fine.

;)

[PeterM]

Oops Tony. It is Saturday the 23rd January. Sorry a typo on my part. Thanks Argo Navis for pointing that out!

[that_guy]

thanks Peter and AN, would that be just a meeting and not observing session??

thanks,
Tony

[PeterM]

If the weather is clear there will most likely be some 'scopes on hand, but going on recent form...

PeterM.

[that_guy]

So do I bring me Telescope??

[Louwai]

I wouldn't mind coming to that as well..... But alas I'm in Warick that weekend.

When's the next one???

[PeterM]

Hi Bryan, the SAS website at www.sas.org.au (http://www.sas.org.au) has a section with the societies newletter called Event Horizon. This is usually has the dates for the next 3 months, so in February the meeting will be on the 27th and you would be most welcome.

Received 2 Emails from both Kevin Dixon and Julian West. Apparently the website has some out of date info... All cleared and hope to be there on the 23rd at the Livingston College!!

[Louwai]

Thanks Peter,
I was actually on your Emailing list for the Event Horizon for quite a while, but haven't received one for some time now.
I suppose it would help if I joined the SAS.:P

[that_guy]

came back from sas meeting... It was brilliant and very helpful. GOt my first look at the tarantula nebula and an interesting lecture about the jupiters moon io. Will be going back next month definitely. Met Eric There... Hello!!

thanks,
Tony

[citivolus]

How was the observing afterwards? I had to go because my daughter was tired, but there seemed to be quite a few people setting up.

[that_guy]

it was awesome!! Kevin Dixon was real helpful in finding LMC for the first time for me. Can't wait 'till next month

[cybereye]

I was hoping to get there but had an early flight to Sydney Sunday morning (up at 4am!!). So I spent Saturday evening in the backyard with my sons looking through the scope instead. I will be trying to get to February's meeting which I believe is on the 27 February (please correct me if i'm wrong!)

Cheers,
Mario

[that_guy]

[Chief Wiggum]

Yeah mate, hopefully I'm not working so I can make it to my first meeting.:D
Cheers

has anyone gotten the event horizon yet?? my inbox is empty...

[NJB]

Hi Tony.

I haven't been looking at iceinspace for a while - life has been busy. But I'm another SAS member who lurks here occasionally. My Event Horizon arrived in the in-box yesterday. I was at the January meeting, and had the 12" dob which I need more practice using - if only the weather would co-operate. And my work. And family life. And ... well you get the idea. See you there on the 27th hopefully.
