Depends on what time you will be there and you didn't make a booking yet.
The Saturday night feast starts at 6pm and before that, the bands have been playing.

Hi Martin,

Unfortunately I can no longer come this weekend. Given the late notice, I'm happy to cover the costs. PM me an address and I'll forward a cheque.

Hope you all have a great time.

Rod.

DavidU (Dave) · #**199** 18-10-2009, 03:44 PM

Well I finally got there at 8.30pm (work) I managed to meet most of the folks and watched Doug do a PS job on NGC253 (awesome).
The clouds were high but intermittently thick, and at about 12.00 it was excellent seeing (albeit dewy).
There was a lot of imaging going on in the lower field and I watched and chatted till about 1.30 when frost bite took over LOL.
I suspect there will be some fine images from Doug, Martin and co.

Got back from Snake Valley this AM. Great 2 days, weather was not perfect but a couple of crystal clear hours after about 11-30 on Sat night made it all worthwhile. Thanks Ken and everyone else involved for the hospitality, the music, the food at the feast and the conversations. Good to see Jan having a great time seeing new objects, I thinks its time you got yourself a dob Jen, someone sell her one!
Very pleased that my 12" proved as useful as the couple of 16"ers there on the brighter targets, very happy as it was the first time the beast has been under an even vaguely dark sky.
I have attached some photos of the camp ground, some shots I took of a family of swans on the lake with 4 or 5 cygnets and a pic of the slightly crooked security light that was vandal proof until XXXXX got involved!!!

See you all next time. Hope the weather is OK for the next 2 nights.

Malcolm
