Snake Valley Part I (Thanks)
A big thank you from me to the following people:
John, Ken & Anna:
Thanks guys for organising the event. When nothing goes wrong, you know the time and effort has been put into organising. Thanks Anna for sorting out my daughters' clothes after she had fallen in the lake. Now that was fun explaining to the wife the next day!!!
Geoff & mr Tuc & Bird:
You experts are to be commended. Obviously you know your stuff, but you patiently listened to my questions and requests and took the time to answer them fully. Paul Davies once said that "Whats the use of knowing all the stuff inthe world if you can't communicate it to a beginner" You guys can and did!!
Darren, Mr Tuc, Bird, John:
Darren thanks for collimating the secondary and sorting out the pinching. The other guys, thanks for the primary work. It made such a difference!
John (with anna's eyepieces) & Steve H
Thanks for taking the time to bring your naglers over to my scope and letting me look thru them. I really appreciate it as i realise the value of these items. (Report to follow in a later post)
The rest of the team:
Thanks guys and girls for making it a great event. Regardless of the last nights brilliant viewing, the event was a success. I would recommend to any noobie to come along next year.
