6 months until IISAC2011

[iceman]

As much as I keep trying to ignore it, the fact that IISAC2011 is only just over 6 months away is playing on my mind :)

So here's a friendly reminder - put the date in your diaries, book your annual leave, store up your brownie points, etc.

IISAC2011 - 27th to 30th October 2011.

IISAC2011 will be the last IISAC event for 2 years because I won't be holding it in 2012 being so close to the date of the Total Solar Eclipse. So make sure you attend this one!

I'll start updating the IISAC2011 page (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/iisac) in the next few weeks with more information as it comes to hand.

(PS: If anyone has any good ideas (and/or contacts) for guest speakers, please let me know)

Hello mike I would like to hear a talk on using filters and how to get the most out of them. maybe a childs workshop would be great. thats my 2 cents

[iceman]

Thanks Stacey - a good idea and I have a volunteer who has offered to give a talk on visual filters, so that should be scheduled.

Will see if I can find any volunteers to run any workshops during the day (including a kids workshop).

Cheers

were on a boat cruise in early october and am keen to bring the whole family to a iis astro camp !!!!!! my boys are 7 and 5 and what makes it hard is there early risers.which might cause a bit of conflict there,thus far the kids haven't been to a astro camp yet... hopefully there's going to be a few more kids....

[mozzie]

oh and the guest speaker on observing with filters sounds like a ripper of a talk (lesson) thanks for organising mike...

Thanks for organising again Mike! :thanx:
Looking forward to it as usual.! :thumbsup:

Here's a wild thought ... :question:
Instead of saying there will be NO IISAC in 2012, why not just relocate it to FNQ for December 2012 !!! :D

There must be a scout camp somewheres there about ;)

Sounds like it will be a great event. Hopefully, we will be back in time to attend.

Hi Mike

I notice in this thread that you said 2011 will be the last event for 2 years, no IISAC in 2013?

Things are looking good for a trip to the Hunter this year:)

Cheers Petra d.

I think he means it will be two years until the next one (2013) Petra.

...but I'm sure Mike will correct me if I'm wrong...:D:P
