[troypiggo (Troy)]

Those photos are a complete surprise to me, I didn't even know you had a camera. I always have that "blue steel" pose going.

LOL yeah might be stretched a bit too much LOL.

here is a photo of the changed conditions of the entry to the site and a badly handheld pano of the field (troys is the one to really look at)

If anyone left a red "JINGPIN" quilted jacket and a pair of sunnies at Duckadang on Sunday, please PM me, and I can arrange to get them back to you.

Thanks to everyone on the committee for running a great show with no power outages at all while I was there. Plus a special thanks for having the trophy engraved and dropped over to me in such sort order.

Here's a pic of the trophy in the pool room, pushing the Bali silverware dragon off it's perch.

I've added a pic of the competition winner plus what I was told were the 2nd place images in both the above and below 400mm categories

[RobF (Rob)]

Congrats on a well deserved gong Robin

Wish the QHY9 had behaved and allowed me to feast on photons as I'd planned. Still, I think there may be some decent widefield 50mm stuff to process that wasn't originally in the imaging plan

[Tandum (Robin)]

Cheers mate. I only got 3 usable hours of data in 3 days myself Rob. I was hearing that Bing Bong usb noise in my sleep for days after the event Looks like it was a power issue in the end

Nice result there Robin, I like that image...looks familiar even, are there some dragons in there?



BTW, there is a beer or wine in just about every hand in all the photos posted from AF...Hmmm?
