Hi all,
The Airfield is being made available to us on Saturday October 13. Many thanks Rod.
I am so very photon withdrawn at the moment,

. My nervous tick is rampant, rashes are appearing, I can't sleep and I start crying every time I walk past my scopes.

One night I found myself setting up a scope in my kids room hallucinating that the glow in the dark stars painted on the ceiling of their room was a clear sky!

Not good.
The Airfield sits some 1000m above sea level, and it is surprising how reduced the Sydney sky glow is due to this elevation.
Like to come? Please do. Scope or no scope, it doesn't matter, your enthusiasm is enough. There are plenty of scopes present, and plenty of helpful folks. The Airfield though is totally BYO power, food, water, etc. There are loos for ladies and kids, and we are welcome to stay overnight. We can also sleep in the main office building where there also is a combustion heater that is fired up when it is very cold up the during the evening.
If you haven't been to the Airfield before, access is via Medlow Bath. A google search will find it easily. One note, the road leading to the Airfield is 4km, of which the last 3km is unsealed and can have some erosion damage due to rain - take it easy.
On entering the Airfield's gate, turn LEFT and go past the "no entry" sign, and then turn right up past the various buildings to the main runway and the concrete slab we set up on. The picture below will give you some guidance.
Last note, if you are unfamiliar with Star Parties, please make sure that your torch/s are covered with red celophane, as red light causes the least amount to disruption to night vision.
I hope to make it there before sunset. There is no "quitting time", other than when you've had enough!
Hope to see you there.
Mental.
