Astrofest - First Saturday night and a very cold Sunday morning.

Hi,

I was only there for one night this year and did an all-nighter with my mate. You know its cold when you get the milk out of the fridge and it feels warm. JJJ thank you for the wonderful photos and I can not recommend it highly enough. I'm even thinking at this stage of pulling long service and doing the 10 days. Some photos taken Sunday morning at approx -5c.

Brrrr, it was a cold and frosty morning all right.
And yes, you just HAVE to do the full 10 days.:)

Bit fresh alright Mark, :eyepop: but as long as you had a great time it would have been worth it, ;) one gets the best skies when it is frosty. :thumbsup:

Leon :thumbsup:

Oh yeah, was it great or what? You know you are alive at that temperature :lol:

I know I wussed out some time round 3:30-4ish :lol: but it certainly was a fantastic night.

Brilliant conditions! Dew running all over the place - yuck! All frozen solid - excellent! (Just need some localised heating where it matters!)
