hey john, I'd love to be shown how to collimate a newt - I have one now but have NFI how to collimate it. that'd be awesome.
To everyone else - I'll be there, a great choice of date for me as it's one of the very few saturdays when I'm not shooting.
I'm going to bring my camera gear and really give it a crack as well assuming we don't get clouds.

Likewise for the collimating session.
Sounds like fun. Good weekend for me too. I have a leave pass.
Is it actually at the Paintball place?? Don't know if they'll let me in. I'm not sure if it's the same one I dislocated my shoulder at a couple of years ago 
cheers

In case anyone else is thinking about bringing their kiddies, I'll be bringing 3 little Berries as SWMBO is speaking in Melbourne over the weekend. I'm sure they would love some company so that Daddy can enjoy some time under the stars.....

Not looking good for me this weekend.  I have a late finish at work and a 5 hour Hapkido seminar in Sydney the next morning. I can't last 5 hours of non stop training on no sleep  and it is to help us grade up later in the month.

That is a real shame, Gazz....but by the sounds, for a good cause. Make sure you come next month...you are our unofficial security officer!

I am hopefull (still) that I can make it, I'll most likely have Campbell at least maybe Thomas too...not sure if I'll have a scope with me or not as our house is still pretty much full of boxes...

John and Scott, sounds like the kiddies will have enough company to keep each other occupied.
What about you, Rocket Boy? I am sure my boys would love to catch up with your girls??

Yes, girls for the young boys to play with...I'm not sure this comment is helpful...lets just say that I think the "kids" would have a nice time if everyone can make it...

Scott, RB's girls and my boys spent a fun night comet hunting at Lostock....they all got on really well. In fact, one of RB's girls said one of the nicest things I have ever heard anyone say about my son Jack. She said something to the effect of, "Rod, your son Jack has beautiful manners. He is a really nice boy". Makes a dad very proud indeed.
