Central Coast Observing - Kulnura 15th Sep

iceman (Mike) · #1 09-09-2007, 05:26 PM

Hi all

Well a rainy weekend meant no observing, but the forecast for the 15th (so far) looks pretty good.

Some nice warm days on Thu/Fri will hopefully dry things out a bit.

So, who's coming to Kulnura on the 15th?

I will be applying for a pass, mind you the Commandant has yet to be convinced that this is a worthy cause

iceman (Mike) · #6 10-09-2007, 07:37 AM

Fantastic h0ughy, would be great to see you there again. Bring some novacastrian mates with you!
C'mon Scott, Ed, Mike Sidonio, Paul Mayo, etc.. make a road trip

I should be able to make it still covering of a few things. I know Kal and Apoman are keen to get back there.

got the week end off so will try and arrive.

Two questions: what is the earliest you can arrive and set up and also is it permissible to take a very small generator for 240 power (it has a 30 metre extension cord).

I can probably survive without the geni but it could be useful for the laptop and any other power needed (quite happy to share the pwr around), I have a reasonably expensive filter for taming the spikes as it were.

Looking forward to it...
You may even see your old 10" Dob Netwolf

iceman (Mike) · #14 13-09-2007, 07:39 AM

I can't wait, weather is looking good. At least the windy conditions are tomorrow, and hopefully will have gone by Saturday.

I wouldn't arrive before 5pm - the place is a business and can still have groups of paintballers finishing up prior to that.

I personally don't think it's a good idea. There is already 240v power available on-site, you just need to bring a long extension cord or two, and a power board because a few people will want to use it (myself included).
You need to know where to plug it in, but I can show you when I get there if noone else knows.

Deeno, the g-11 mount is sitting empty at the moment and I think that my old dob would have gone nicely on that.

I hope you guys have a great night. I am in Byron Bay still (life is VERY tough), sipping on a schooner of Tooheys Old, enjoying the ambience of the Beach Hotel (this is a good place to get free wireless internet access, and the eye candy is rather nice, too)!

I am meeting up with the Northern Rivers crowd at Glen's place either tonight or tomorrow night, depending on the weather. There are storms predicted later today, but at the moment just lots of wind, but clear blue skies.....

The skies are here are nice and dark, even close to the centre of Byron Bay where we are staying. I am very much looking forward to seeing how dark it is as Glen's place.

See you all next month!

Kal (Andrew) · #18 15-09-2007, 11:43 AM

Looking forward to tonight. Weather looks good, jetsream map isn't perfect but at least there is a high pressure cell over NSW which might mean some decent viewing.

wavelandscott (Scott) · #19 15-09-2007, 01:04 PM

Sorry all but it is now pretty unlikely that I can make it...Enjoy a good night!

okiscopey (Mike) · #20 15-09-2007, 01:19 PM

Will be there at 17:00:00 AEST (DV).
