It's on again!! The 17th SV camp.

[04Stefan07 (Stefan)]

Friday weather is looking good!

Martin, what time can we turn up on Friday?

[stevous67 (Steve M)]

Can someone mark where the property is on one of these maps, and where the entrance is please? I'm guessing there will be plenty of signs, but its just nice to know where it is. The Snake Valley website map seems to show the site on the right side, but google says its on the left side [odd numbers left side]/

If someone has time - can you mark out roughly where the field is too?

Thanks guys,

Steve

[JohnG (John)]

You have marked the SV Astro Society site, here is the SV camp site.

Usually people start arriving from about 1300 on the Friday, Ken has plenty of signs around the place with directions.

Cheers

Ahhh Ha!

That now makes sense - thats a real lake. Nice looking location.

Thank you John.

Regards,
Steve

That's it, the entrance to the Observing Field is to the right on that photo, the entrance you see is in to the hut area. When you get there you won't miss it.

The amenities block has a fully equipped kitchen with everything you might possibly need, plenty of fridge space and electrical items.

Marty, Just letting you know that my boys will only be staying for the two nights weekend only instead of the full 4 nights due to school commitments.
They are not happy about that.

Outside packing car and caravan and looking up at the heavens ..... pretty good night tonight even with all the light pollution of Melbourne.

Can't wait for some nice dark Snake Valley skies ..... getting ichy feet thinking about it.

Have a safe drive everybody !!!!

[barx1963 (Malcolm)]

Wanted to say thank you for hosting another camp. My dad and I had a great time. We met many new people and its great to share our passion of Astronomy with great company.

I wanted to say a super thank you to Patrick and Malcolm (hope I got your names right) for helping me collimate and align my telescope. I am still purely a beginner and great to learn from the pros! Also thanks to Mario for letting me use his zoom eyepiece, that thing is bloody fantastic! Saves a heap of time switching between eyepieces.

Cheers,
Stefan.

My pleasure Stefan even thought the weather didn't play ball we still made the best of it. Hopefully in the new moon we can all have a go at the Heathcote site.
