Hi all

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I HAVE MISSED ANYONE!!

We have had a few other enquiries and I am assuming that quite a few that are camping that haven’t booked yet will do so in the near future.
In other news, following on from recent camps we are pleased to announce a presentation for the upcoming Snake Valley Astro Camp. Ken Harrison (those of you on Ice in Space will know as “merlin66”) will be doing a presentation on spectroscopy. He will cover in brief, equipment, techniques, interpreting results and give an overview of this fascinating area where amateurs can make valuable contributions to science. He will all discuss his new Spectroheliograph that enables solar observations to be made in a wide range of wavelengths and bands widths.
At this stage it is anticipated that the presentation will take place Friday afternoon of the camp.
On that note, we are always keen to hear if anyone has an idea for a presentation, it could be as simple as How to drift align, Why you use a piece of gear, Image processing, interesting targets in tonights sky, anything really. Just let me know!!
Cheers

Malcolm
