I know the astronomy community is really friendly, but can someone honestly tell me I could come along and not be a pain in the a__e. Cheers
Hi Allan

Please don't feel you NEED a telescope to come along! There'll be heaps to see and do even without a telescope.
Amateur astronomers are a friendly bunch and are always willing to share the views, and there's also night sky tours by 3RF.

Mike I was wondering if it's the same registration fee regardless of how many days are spent there. I'm not able to make it for the entire duration and am a huge fan of your work so would love to come for your talk and also Greg Bradley, which thankfully are on the same day.

Carmen
Hi Carmen. The registration fee is the same no matter how many nights you stay. It covers things like the marquee, insurance, hiring the grounds themselves etc.
You're welcome to come for just 1 night, or 2, or 3!
Hope to see you there.

Myself and son number 1, Anthony will be partaking of the (hopefully) super clear and super dark skies.

Can't wait.

Hope to see you all there.
