From an organiser's perspective, I can honestly say that this year's SPSP was an absolute joy. Everyone who attended really contributed to the great atmosphere. A big thank you from the ASNSW to you all for helping us put on a great event.
Of course, it doesn't hurt to have 3 clear nights viewing, only spoiled by a couple of hours of bushfire smoke on the Saturday morning. For me, the whole weekend was a total blur, so I'll have to leave it up to others to fill you in on gory details.
For this year the Thursday was for volunteers only and even though that shortened the event for some people, I think it really helped make this year a success as we were able to make sure we had enough volunteers at the front gate, registration desk, camping areas, on the observing field etc before everyone came flooding in.
I'll keep an eye on this thread for any positive or negative comments, but I'd really appreciate if you could send any feedback via the link on the ASNSW web site

Thanks again and I look forward to seeing you all next year.
Cheers,
