For the "equipment challenged" people.
If you are travelling light to the Qld Astrofest cos' your 'scope won't fit into the hold on the 747, car boot, etc. don't worry as based on previous experience, there are always keen 'scope owners willing to let others look through their pride and joy. In the daytime, you can just relax and laze around, or watch Brendan go though his previous night’s ccd images hunting for super nova - he co-discovered on at the Qld Astrofest in 1997. The social scene begins to build up gradually as the week progresses and more people arrive, with Friday and Saturday being full on.
For families, there is a bunkhouse set aside for you and the little ones, who can play crazy golf on the (worn) pitch & put course behind the kitchen. Did I mention canoeing on the Brisbane River? Some folks go for local daily bush walks and Erwin runs 10km everyday just to shake out the lethargy from the previous all-nighter.
Hope to see you there!
Dennis
