Our first camp and star party, what a blast. Ken the consumate host and like minded people to share their exerience and expertiese.
Thanks Hagar, for the tutorial on Registax that you gave to me and Margaret on Saturday, a real eye opener into your impressive imaging talents.
Erick, who enthralled my wife with his dark sky observations and provided his valuable seeing time in conducting tours of his camp and equipment. I really liked the home made / adapted products and his introduction to Binocular astronomy.
Ken, for the Toucam tips and the overall friendly and encouraging welcome. We will be back!
and finally Darren, no the other one! who kept me entertained with his modified 12 inch dob and extensive knowledge base.
As for the seeing, after the clouds had past, I was literally beside myself. I spent a fair bit of the evening just staring up. I really couldn't put into words the difference a dark sky makes!
To everyone else we got to meet and spend some time with, Breanna and I both say thanks for a great weekend.
Darren
