Hi all
The aim of the event is twofold. We are combining our public outreach activities with the normal format of a Star Party.
ASAW embraces both aspects enthusiastically and welcomes astrophotographers. The Retreat has numerous outlets for power and areas where astrophotographers can setup - however like many other Star Parties we have limitations to areas where power is accessible. The main observing field has no 240V power available.
The main areas that we will recommend for those that require 240V are the tennis court (yes the lights will be off) and vacant "powered sites".
The area that Phil Hart will be conducting his practical astrophotography work shop is on the Tennis Court. This will ensure that we strike a balance for all our guests.
If there are any concerns or questions regarding the event - please do not hesitate to contact either myself or the Project Manager (David Chandler).
To also qualify the location of the Retreat it is 30 km North of Albury and 30kms South of Holbrook.
Cheers Petra
