Snake Valley Astro Camp
I figured I may as well jump in.
The SV camp was / is great. Unfortunately I could only be there for Friday & Saturday nights. Looking out the window now I wish I was still there.
I must admit I was a little concerned driving from Melbourne on Friday afternoon. In places the rain was so heavy I had to pull over. Not to many stars out tonight I thought to myself. Was even contemplating heading home (for the 2nd time, but that's another story)
6pm Friday night it was almost 100% cloud cover.
9pm & the sky was as clear. Not a cloud to be seen.
11pm & it was full cloud cover again.
1.30am the sky was clear once again & stayed that way for the rest of the night.
Saturday night could not have been better. Cool & clear.
I saw objects with my little C8 that I thought I would only see with a larger scope.
I got to check out a 13mm Ethos. WOW!!!!! I know what I'll be buying next.......
Absolute credit to all organisers.
Fantastic turnout. Great range of different scopes. As someone famous once said..... "I'll be back"!!!!!!!
