Kulnura:21st October

(that's the best Jaja Binks I can muster, I am afraid to say
)
Who's up for a starparty on the night of 21 October? I am still scopeless, so desperation to observe is setting in right about now....

No worries Mike. Not sure if the Jets (3-0 winners tonight) are playing on Sat but just leave the chair and I will pick it up when I arrive.

first timer...
Howdo all,
Is it ok for a complete newbie to drop by and use the site as well.
I recently got a 8" LX90 and I have been itching to get to any dark site outside of central Sydney.
What time do people arrive at , I assume before dark and is there any power points for a scope on the site.
Any other itesm I need to bring, other than the scope ?
Does anybody have a link to a map to the destination ?
regards
Noel

Hi Noel!
You're more than welcome. Most people arrive between 5 and 6pm, some a bit after if they have kiddy commitments at home
If it's your first time, it's probably a good idea to arrive before dark so you have a chance to find the place and setup.
There is 240v power on-site, best to bring an extension lead and power board as well, as there may be one or two others wanting to use power as well.
Don't need to bring anything else.. hope you have a red light torch?
Here's a map:

Hope the weather clears up! Look forward to meeting you there.

Noel, it will be great to have you along! We always welcome new faces. I was exactly in your position when I first purchased a scope last year, and I had a ball meeting the Kulnura crowd and learning about how to use my scope, and how to improve my observing skills.
