Hi Houghy & Paul

Yes - I'm booked for the full week Monday through Sunday morning. Prime spot depends on your tastes and style. Nearest the dorms for loos and showers; most isolated to avoid snorers; not too near the entrance gateway to avoid being too close to vehicle movements; away from the dob’s; near the GoTo’s; adjacent ccd alley, etc.

For anyone who requires it, power is available from all dorms via long, very long extension leads. Generally, I bring a 30m and 20m extension with 5 way power boards for accessories such as notebook, ccd camera, psu for Pentax *istDS, dew heaters, red light, GoTo unit, etc.

This year, the organisers have mentioned something about trying to regulate (manage) the cables by the use of ELCBs and 8 way powerboards from strategic power points.

Anyhow, arriving on Monday should give you the best choice of any of the available options. Historically, Monday sees between 20 and 30 people for the night, gradually building up over the week to 100+ on Saturday.

Cheers

Dennis
