An excellent and varied set David - you are the most prolific, multi-system, multiple configuration, complex set-up, variable focal length, assorted sensor, tenacious and talented astro-photographer that I know - and that is a compliment!
This year we got a bit of a write up in the local paper.
In the photo is myself, Houghy, Grady, Dawn Oliver and Brendan Downs.
The article says "800" Astronomers attended. I thought the imaging field was a bit crowded. It was probably meant to say either 100 Astronomers or 800 Bed nights.
I wonder if anyone found an EQ6 Pro eyepiece holder and leg spreader as I believe I have left it there. White in colour with different sized circles cut out of it to hold eyepieces as if that helps lol

Sorry Mark, didn't see anything like that.
One thing that did turn up though was a commemorative mug that was found destitute and abandoned on Sunday morning near Casa de Surma-Hawes. If anyone is missing a piece of their precious china let me know and I will arrange a reunion. I have deliberately not described it, so if it is yours, you can tell me what it is (trying to avoid the "I'm Brian of Nazareth and so is my wife" scenario )
well i missed a full stay at astrofest this year and i wanted to say that i missed the night sky and the great friendship that i have going up there

Sorry for your loss Al. I really hope that next year will be just as good for you.
You were sorely missed on the field that's for sure
That is sad news Al. We all missed you but I truly understand how you must feel. Anne-Louise's and my thoughts are with you, and look forward to seeing you next year.
. I really hope that next year will be just as good for you.
