The last Cambroon Weekend though not the best for observing or imaging was a success never the less with a grand total of 24 attendies over the 2 days

I hope the next one which is on the weekend of the New Moon, Friday the 11th till Sunday 13th June will be even better on both accounts.
See you all here

New people see web site in my signature for directions, or sticky at top of this forum

I didn't realise it is a long weekend this one coming

so if anyone wants to stay the Sunday night they are

You Know that Sunday Nights are always the best night's of the weekend for observing

Cheers, Dennis.

G_day Dennis, You turn Right at Hunsley Road for about 6kms detour, then back on the Obi Kenilworth again.
Good Graded Dirt Road for Standard cars.
It will be good to catch up with you again

Unfortunately we're going away for the long weekend

(hmmm... Wait, I'm going on holiday, so maybe that should be a smiley face

... but then, I really want to go to Cambroon, so...

I dunno

)

Anyway, I'll be thinking about you guys (and gals)... wishing you clear skies

A small but happy group had a great Dark Sky at Cambroon

Yours truly 16" scope,Jeannette Astro imaging gear
Paul (1 ponders) no gear but was a welcome assistance to phil a new member of iceinspace with his two very inquisitive daughters Tiara&Georgia, as Jennette will testify

Collin and his 12" scope,Maureen, 10"scope and Peter, Anthony John.and Glen a friend from quite a while back dropped in

I put the small attendance down to the long weekend

Weather was Cold 3.5DegC

but Crystal clear till 01:30 but everyone had left by 23:45, having had a great nights observing with some good company

Thanks again for the hospitality Ron.
Yes, the girls had a great time didn't they. Welcoming everyone as they arrived.

And inquisitive too. Helping me while I set up and asking all the right questions.
It was an enjoyable night. Cold though, but I guess it's good practice for Astrofest.
