Ice, save your money re the tent. I can borrow a two-man, so as long as your pack light, and don't fart or snore, you can share my ponderoza. You'll have to bring a bedroll and sleeping bag. If you snore, you can sleep in your car, buddy!

Sounds good, and I don't snore

I'll have to scrounge some bedding.

I've booked into the primary viewing site (only redlights and laptops must be properly covered to emit only red light) because I want to explore the limits of my scope. I assume Ice you'll be wanting to do shoot some images on your scope at the secondary site.

I've booked into the primary site as well - i'm not interesting in doing astrophotography with my dob at this starparty.. visual observing for me!

As for transport, I am trying to make arrangements to borrow someone's car for my family so that I can take my Odyssey...it should have room for both scopes and a couple of passengers (eg Ice & Robby). Maybe Ice you could loan your "weekday" car to my wife and that would free up the Oddysey?? Have a think about it

Would the odyssey fit 2 scopes and 2 passengers? If so, that'd be great, to all go together. I can loan my Hyundai to your wife, and you can put booster seats in it no probs. Though i'm not sure about a capsule or harness.
What time do you think we should leave on Friday? We want to get there while it's light, to find the place and setup before it gets dark.
Also what time were you wanting to leave on Sunday? I was hoping to leave before lunch Sunday, I hope that suits your plans too.. i'm not sure that i'll take Monday off work yet, probably just friday.
Anyway we can discuss the finer points as it gets closer.
