A perfect night for new people to have a look through a range of telescopes and speak to fellow astronomers and some with many decades of observing experience.

Good luck with it Wayne.
I wish I had time to join you, I've always wanted to. Now it's a bit of a trip for me.
We used to live in Sylvania years ago.

Hi Andrew

Nice to see you posting bits and bobs. I've been doing a bit of lurking but not much posting going through one of those ho hum times that this hobby can bring. Weather sux and when it is clear my normal life gets in the way :lol:.

We had a really good attendance tonight. Sky was clear till around 21:30 and the forecast looks good for tomorrow. Lots of questions about astro imaging and the kids really show alot of interest on the images on the ipad and laptop, or is it just their natural interest in technology? No imaging done as my mount wasn't tracking and it is hard to trouble shoot and talk to people at the same time.

All good and bring on tomorrow night.
