Back from Astrofest, car and trailer are unloaded but still far to much gear on the kitchen table and in other places.

A fantastic 10 day's, some beautiful nights, lot's of meteors and that awesome spread of the milky way. The nights were generally still regardless of the winds during the day some days.

Peter arrived yesterday with his 30" dob, first time I've looked through one that big and earlier in the week I'd looked through a 20" at Tarantula and been astounded at the image in the eyepiece. Thanks to those on the visual field who willingly share the visual experience with those of those who wander over from the photography area occasionally.

Thanks also to the organisers for a great event, my first time there for the full period and I left wishing it was longer.

Bob
