yeap, this weekend

Sat, 2pm - 10pm. Should be good I hope. There's certainly a big variety of scopes that'll be there at night!! (I've seen the list).

Great to meet a couple of you yesterday at Astrofest. Always nice to put faces to names. Had a great time there with my 9 y/o daughter, who was especially impressed with the talk that Prof. Fred Watson gave.

It was good to meet so many IIS people yesterday. I fully admit that I will probably not recognise half of you next time I see you ... I'm just not good with recognising faces ... and I talked to probably 2000 people yesterday

But it was a great day, and great to meet you all

I thought the talk was good. Looked like there was too many people on the field for the scopes at night - long queue's, I hope visitors got to see some stuff

TrevorW · #**265** 29-11-2009, 12:51 PM

Sorry I couldn't be there Rog

You got a big round of applause for your place in the photography comp Trevor, and your pic was on display with the others all day

Dont feel to bad, Kerryhn didnt remember me either and she has seen me Three times before

I may be going to Tammin on the 14th or 15th of December as I have no school and my dad is not at work.
Anyone interested?

Anyone outside around 10pm tonight see a bright orange light in the SE towards horizon which hovered for a while then disappeared suddenly ???

mswhin63 (Malcolm) · #**278** 28-12-2009, 02:21 AM

I may have been out but SE horizon maybe a bit out of my FOV.
