Yes folks, I have to echo Mike's thanks to Anthony (Frogman) and his boss for their hospitality. Nice site and nice dips Anthony! The company was great. There is always something new to learn, something nice to look at.
I was greatly relieved to have purchased a dew zapper and rubber bedroll (dew guard) during the week. They worked magnificantly, with not a single drop on the correcting plate all night. For those who are coming up in May, something to think about.
I'm not sure what to do about foggy eyepieces. I've asked Nina to try to sew something like a bum bag before next time which allows me to carry a few eyepieces around so that I can warm the eyepieces back up again while not in use, but it will have to be open at the top to allow for evaporation. I'll do a post when the prototype has been made and trialled!
I saw lots of things last night for the first time. I am planning a bit of a summary which I will post at a later date (when my wife has finished her essay), but suffice to say, I was chuffed with last night!
Regards to all,
Rodstar
