The Cambroon night was a great success

a bit short on numbers but the quality was fantastic

Randall was quietly doing his time laps imaging RobF was also imaging and instructing Randall and Suzy in the Art of extracting the dim photons from the Dark Sky
Shawn and Mike where quietly observing away in the dark and enjoyed the night

Russell, Suzy's hubbie and I where checking out my 8" scope and doing some observing with the 16" while the women chatted away like Budgies in the dark

It was a joy to behold Suzy's excitement when Jeanette,Terry,Shelly,and Tony turned up

she was charging around hugging everyone in turn

then chatting away at a thousand miles an hour,and she reckons I can talk




The 16" really got a workout when the "Gate Crashers" turned up

the ooose and arrrs ringing out into the night was amazing as prime views of 47Tuc and Ngc 253 where observed

The Andromeda galaxy really put on a show

Russ, had always wanted to see The Andromeda galaxy and it did not disappoint

Even though low down M 42 put on a good show and was enjoyed by all

I had hoped to be able to show them the the Supernova in Leo but the clouds and the late hour denied me the privilege

When everyone had gone silence was amazing after such an exciting few hours

To meet all these people who I have wanted to meet for such a long time was a dream come true

I hope we can do it again

cheers
PS Suzy, I will try not to squeeze so hard next time
