Mike, now that I've had the chance to see your scope and other stuff in your car and my stuff in my car, I think it is fair to say that both scopes won't fit in the Odyssey...I think we should go in two cars after all! Judging by how much I am spending at Bintel at the moment, I am bound to have even more stuff by March!!!
Nina's nanny is lending her a car for the weekend, so no need for your car, but thanks for saying it would be OK. I'll make arrangements for a tent that is big enough for two adults.
Given that we're going in two cars, it might be easiest just to meet up at the Starparty. I haven't seen the program, but I plan to get there by, say, 3pm, so that I can set up the tent and the scope, and generally take it all in, gas bag with other astro-nuts etc.
Have you seen a program? I am assuming the sessions are on Sat. and Sun. only?? Also, other than the spit roast, what's the story with catering? If it is bring your own, I might have to line up an esky and some ice. I'll check with the ASNSW and put another post in this thread at a later time.
I am happy to bring Robby back from the starparty if the timing works better that way...I don't mind. I have no fixed thoughts about when I am leaving on Sunday 'cos I have the Monday off.
