Who's going to SPSP 2014?
Having been unable to attend IISAC last weekend I'm planning to go to SPSP for the first time in a few years. Just wondering which other IIS members are going

Morton, I am going. I suspect a lot of IIS's will be there. I plan on being very social again and stealing looks through as many telescopes as I can. I pick up my Discmounts DM4 in a few weeks so my new NP101is will finally get its first run at SPSP if anyone else wants a look.

If you post here, please also put which field you are locating on, main field or imaging field. They are about a 10 min walk apart, so will help in people planning walkabout tours.
I'm up on the imaging field as the site marshal, and stay in the caravan next to the radio dish antenna.

Cool. Apparently you can set up your scope beside your tent in the camping area like we do at IISAC, so I'll probably do that if I can get a good spot.

Anna and I will be there, setup on the main field with Edwin.
Boy it's been awhile, 5 years to be exact. How time flys!

Sounds good to me. I'm not hardcore about a bit of stray light.

Have you read the light policy? No light allowed in the camping area either!

Well that's great. I thought it was only the main field where the light policy was at its noosiest. If its dark at the campsite even better.
