Will be great to see everyone returning .....hopefully we get everyone back and a few more visitors as well :-)
Lunch on Saturday sound great.......There is a new place in Yass which is meant to be excellent .......although a bit more expensive than the club......but if everyones up for it I can see if we can get a group booking??
Some of my kit to look forward to attendee's getting a chance to test out for themselves in your own scopes (or mine):
Almost the Full Range of Takahashi LE Eyepieces: LE 50, LE 30, LE24, LE18, LE12.5, LE7.5 & LE5
Televue Eyepieces: Nagler 31, Nagler 22, Nagler 17, Delos 10, Delos 14, Delos 6
Other Eyepieces: Pentax XW10, Masuyama 20
Scopes for Attendee's pleasure:
Takahashi Mewlon 300 (Original).....now with field removable conversion to F9.1 with the Mewlon ED Flattener & Reducer via an adaptor........I will also hopefully have the back plate replaced with a Takahashi original backplate with active cooling fans......thus making it a fully field convertible Mewlon CRS (just without the computer focus)
Takahashi TOA150 with and without the Takahashi TOA67 Flattener adapted to visual use.
Takahashi TSA120 with and without the Takahashi ED Extender.
All driven by the following mounts:
-Takahashi EM400 with IPAD and MacBook GOTO control
-TREX on a Avalon TPOD130 Tripod motor driven (with GOTO if I have my new Android handset)
-Vixen SXW with Starbook and IPAD & MacBook Pro GOTO Control
People that are considering buying Takahashi are encouraged to attend to see all the kit in action for themselves prior to buying.
Also the Attendee purchasing discount which will be offered again this year for those that do come to the event :-)
