don't worry Spart. I'll keep the concrete pad nice and warm for you...........for next time

[joshman (Josh)]

hahah, i plan on getting the concrete pad again this time first in best dressed i suppose

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

You'd better get there early then, I only live 15km away

[astroron (Ron)]

all it's a great night tonight, I think it will be the same tomorrow night
See you then
Ron

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

Ron do you want me come over early and bring that chainsaw

[joshman (Josh)]

hey paul, are you trying to sneak in on my spot?

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

Don't worry Josh. There won't be any sneaking about it

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

I thought it was "Ladies First".
I'll most graciously move your scopes aside and put mine on the pad instead.

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

[joshman (Josh)]

oh noes paul!!!! maybe a team effort to hold the fort from the ladies???? then we can fight over the pad later?

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

I think it's probably getting towards time where we have a weekender at Ron's and put in a couple of more pads seeing as the imagers are starting to outnumber the viewers

Waddyareacon Ron? Might slip in an observatory slab while we're at it.

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Look, I'll step aside and let you two fight over the slab.
My mount is so efficient it doesn't need a concrete pad to keep it stable anyway.

[joshman (Josh)]

hahah, what is this 'cube' i AM intrigued.

the pad's mine this time! mwahahahahahha!!!!

and i'll be in for helping put in a few more imaging pads one weekend.

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

The "Cube" in action.
Chair warmer optional.


PS the scope is level, the rest of the photo is crooked.

Imagers outnumbering the viewers?? In ya dreams Paul!
There's still a forest of dobs anytime you have more than 3 scopes out at Ron's place!


Anyway I'm sitting at work waiting for the reports - who went to Ron's, who didn't, and did you do any solo observing Ron even if no one else came?


Re the working bee to get things done at Ron's - if it's one of my weekends off I'll be there!
(Even though my dob don't need no fancy schmancy see-ment pad to work just fine)

From memory Steve there were about 10 scope and 20 people (approx) last night with the imagers winning out about 6 to 4 I believe

Lets see, there was ME (at last) Jeanette at the other end of the table, Adam and Mark (newbies) Josh, Dave W and Chris and Mike (though I'm not sure what they were doing but I'm including them here to increase our sense of importance).

Visually there was Ron, Shaun and Michael (newbies), Wes, Maureen and clan, and another gentleman and his son (who I have shamefully fogotten their names) plus I think there were a few other wandering around. You know how it's like, your so busy getting everything right to collect that perfect photon on the chip you miss half the people getting around
