Astro Display at Star Camp

ballaratdragons (Ken) · #1 18-10-2005, 04:52 PM

Dave (47Tuc) came up with a great idea for the folks coming to the Snake Valley Star Camp.
If you have any posters, Astrophotos etc that you would like to display can you please bring them along with you. We will put them all on display in the Rec Room. (Anthony, Bird, hint hint)

I will be displaying my son Jake's science project he did of 'How a Reflecting Telescope works'. He is proud of it!

You can display anything to do with Astronomy and Space if you like: Antique Binoculars, old Star Charts, NASA Gemini Space Rockets, etc etc. It may even be a new Astro product like Mick Pinners Trolley.

All items will be locked in at night.

Let's see if we can make a great display for all to share in.

You can post responses in here if you would like to display something.

Thanks Mick,
It's been a pleasure and I'm sure Ken, Dave and anyone else who has contributed so far would think the same way.
Nine days can't go quick enough for me now, I just want to get there and enjoy it.

Cheers fellas

I'm thinking we may have to bring 2 cars with the stuff we mite bring.
Dispaly's are great way for showing your Astro stuff.
This will be very much a learning Star Party me thinks.

I'm very much looking foward to the camp and getting some dark sky viewing in.
Just a quick point for those who maybe a bit shy on asking Astro ??? Don't be. I may not know to much, but I'm sure I can help with your scope or find that Globular Cluster you always wanted to look at

See you all soon.

2 Cars! Excellent Dave!! Looking forward to your display items.

Now we have to talk Bird and others into bringing their astropics.

As far as a learning Camp, I only have about 12,000 questions.
