Queensland Astrofest 2012 - looking forward to this one

[ZeroID (Brent)]

Have a good one guys, I am expecting to see lots of pix and hear lots of stories, not necessarily censored.

[OneCosmos (Chris)]

That's fine, my wife never reads this forum - always a great place to hide equipment

[COSMOPARADISE (Nick)]

Agghhh just saw rego is closed.... well might check ticketek....agghhh none there either....
Hopefully there will be room for my tent for the last 4 days, finally got time off work.
Will be nice to see everyone again and add some quality, unpolluted data to my growing library of unprocessed fits.

Oh boy....the threads would be deleted if we allowed the uncensored truth to come out.
3 sleeps to go now.
Astro gear is sorted and boxed, snack box filled, alkehol bought and day clothes packed.

[Davros (Lauren)]

3 days to go

Camper trailer half in pieces "being fixed" - check
No warm clothes bought or packed - check
Astro gear not field tested - check
Electrical gear all over the house - check
New power system for camper trailer still under construction - check
Absolutely nothing packed or sorted - check

does anyone have a shrinking ray......





I have heaps of stuff everywhere - oh what to take.....what to take.....

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

You get told every year Dave. Just leave your gear at my place and pick it up on the way through. That way you just have to pack clothes. LOL

[hikerbob (Bob)]

Somewhe between mick and jjjnettie on the readyness stakes. The camper trailer has had a test setup and is not dissassembled.
Most gear is spread around the spare bedroom. A couple of cables are still AWOL but I'm quietly confident that I will be ready.

Just a little excited.

Bob

Wish I could come up for a visit.....oh well, one day.

I hope you all have a lovely time and clear skies.
Looking forward to all the write-ups and images when you return.

There appears to be a lot of burn offs going on at the moment.
Hearing a few stories at work regarding mass-burn offs planned while the weather is good.

Was pretty bad today in terms of smoke, but Friday is meant to be windy so we will see.

Been so busy the past two weeks i havn't had a chance to even start packing. Will try and get a lot done tonight, very long day tomorrow then up early Friday to finish packing. Hopefully will be there around 2pm or so, unless i get lost.

See you all there.
