Who's going to Border Stargaze?

Will be great to catch up with a lot of you there!

My plans are a bit rubbery but I'll definitely be there. Probably go there Sat morning and stay Sat night, registering when I arrive (if that's OK Petra?). Work's at the pointy end so don't have a lot of time. Taking the little reflector. Intend to do mostly visual observing but may take the 'imaging rig' (ha! ) and grab a few late night photons - master-classes available.

For anyone still umming-&-aahing about going - GO! It's a fabulous event with tons of interesting things to do, and a credit to the organisers.

Cheers -

This is my fourth time at this great event. This time I'm bringing the family with friends so more is merrier!!! So, if anyone is thinking of going, book now, come along and enjoy good company, great food, lots of fun, feed your brain with talks and lectures. If clear skies have preveiled, you can enjoy great dark sky viewing.
See you there!

No 5 for me also. Cut the holiday short to be back in time for this wonderful event.

It will be great to catch up again Patrick. (When are you going to get a decent scope and start imaging? I cant say that to multi talented Rob this year)

Me too now,

Due to some generous help, a good employer and a special leave pass by my gorgeous wife ! I can come and catch up with everyone. Looking forward to the odd laugh with you Patrick!

Won't get there till Thursday lunchtime, but hey, I will get there.

I'll be there - missed the last one due to family commitments, and as the kids were nagging me to take them back up there again I've had no choice but to come
Looking forward to catching up with people from the Snake Valley weekends.
Peter

LOL, I think you can Doug! Long time no see, funny how a dinky ridge makes the valleys seem a million miles apart!

Great to hear Peter & Darren are coming too, look forward to catching up.
