Oooo... you're going to be late?... That's a carton of crownies right there.

You spelled "Asahi" wrong. Is 12 litres of beer, bottle of port, and bottle of Baileys enough for 5 nights?

We'll manage.

Last work day today. Packing in the morning and expecting to be there soon after lunch time....happy days.

In Glen Innes for overnight break. Temp will be -3C tonight - lovely!

[RickS (Rick)]

I still have about a week's work to do tomorrow and Saturday before I start packing. See you all on Sunday. Save me a spot with access to plenty of photons

[Spookyer (Brett)]

Does anyone know if the microwave in the pergola will be available to guests again?

Some photos from the Astrofest.
The weather has been perfect for the first 3 days.

I wish I could come out and spend the week with you guys. Damned high school getting in the way of things!

I just got my new NEQ6 and I would love to get some tips from you guys! I might be able to make it out on Friday-Sunday, but would that be to late?

Of course it is fine! Registration is possible on-site when you arrive.

I had a shortened stay this year. Not sure if the link will work but I've posted pictures I worked on at Queensland Astrofest on Facebook.

I hope the link gets there https://www.facebook.com/robert.step...=3&pnref=story

I had a great time, clear skies up until just after midnight last night. Great people, enjoyable food and as usual a fantastic setup. Top job by the committee.

The Astrofest Committee have asked me to post this to FB, but I thought I'd add it here as well.

[AstroJunk (Jonathan)]

Bugger. Hadn't realised the main speaker had been moved to the first weekend

[OneCosmos (Chris)]

I returned home mid-week because of the weather but plan on being back on Friday, but in the meantime here are a few pics.

The last one was taken on the road back to Moore early in the morning.

Hope you folks are okay – we had some quite strong, gusting westerlies for most of the evening/night (Wed) in Brisbane.

Cheers

Tuesday and Wednesday were a little windy and rainy. Friday, Saturday and Sunday were clear, Thursday and Friday also clear but with better seeing, so 5 clear nights ain't half bad. Another great star party.

Still making my way down to Sydney. In Armidale now for a rest, back on the road in the morning. Lappie is full with 5 nights worth of data.
