I've also added the "GROUP PHOTO!" to the agenda, to be taken on Saturday at 5:30pm, in-between the lucky door prize draw and dinner. Please make yourself available.

You can see the agenda by loading up this 40k PDF file:

I'm saddened by the agenda, there is no "Sausage making 101" included. LOL.
I will still bring my gear with me. Actually, I am getting more equipment this week that will help in producing superior snags. Real snag making will be a bonus as we can eat them.
I would be willing to sell them at a sausage sizzle and contribute the money to IIS.

Mike.

Great news guys..

Forum member "hector" (Andrew Murrell - well known and respected amateur astronomer) will be coming to IISAC for the Friday and Saturday nights.

He'll be bringing his 20" dob known as "hector" and will be doing sky tours (along with Ed and his 18") of some popular and also not-so-well-known objects.

Andrew has an encyclopedic knowledge of our Southern Skies, and it will be a great chance for people to pick his brains and learn about what you're viewing!

Im going to visit my grand parents on the Saturday (they live in Muswellbrook), so might be able to come for Saturday/Saturday night (and stay off site). How are people going to like cars leaving early in the morning though (never been to a camp so I dont know)? As long as you are careful and dont flash the field there shouldnt be a problem?
