Well sitting here at work anxiously awaiting the photo shop guy to develop my 4 rolls of film - yes folks, FILM! Almost 100 photos taken at Snake Valley over the weekend under great dark skies. Unlike the instant gratification of the digital world I am sitting here desperate to get the call from the shop to say they are ready - the waiting is torture!
While I wait I just wanted to say what a great weekend it was amid the relaxed and friendly enviornment that is Snake Valley. I also wanted to thank everyone for their generosity, patience and friensdship.
This was my first attempt to do prime focus photography and I simply couldn't have managed without the help I got from so many people. Even when things were going wrong with their own setup people found the time to help me without a grumble.
I particularly wanted to thank Ken, Daniel, Erik, Doug and Darren for their technical help, advice, tips and information sharing. But really everyone there deserves a thank you for making it yet another great time at Snake Valley.
Watch this space for 100s of photos from yours truly (that is if I got the focus right through that half inch ground glass screen!!!)
Thanks everyone

PS - just for the record - last year we won the lucky door prize, this year it was the raffle!!
PPS - it's 2 days since newbie Darren (forget his username) left SV - has he bought a new scope yet
, It was great to catch up again . 
I'm looking forward to see the results of your film shots
