All sounds pretty good, and yeh it's not long to go now, getting very excited - not just for the starcamp but because it's our annual holiday with the family, going down to the 12 apostles, great ocean rd etc.

For me, the starcamp will be meeting other IIS'ers and looking through their scopes. I don't (and won't) have an observing plan, but i will bring my eyepiece case.

Also while it'd be nice to do allnighters, because i'll have the family staying in a motel down the road, and expecting to do touristy things the next day (going into melbourne, etc), I need to get some sleep too!

Really looking forward to it though, I hope the weather cooperates! Even Terry (mojo) is coming out of hiding for the camp and is expected to be there at least some of the nights. I don't think he's staying on-site though. I don't know if he'll pack his LX200 in the car for its first roadtrip, either..

How did you go with your to-do list, Dave? I guess you got most of it done to some degree. No DSLRs got hooked up to any scopes but you saw what Bird's CCD could do.

Me, Steve (Janoskiss), John (xstream), Darren (Wombat) and a few others did lot's of EP comaprisons through my GS 12" dobbie but we never wrote anything down! We were too busy saying things like "WOW! Oooooh! Aaaaaah!"
We gradually worked our way from Series 500's through GS, TeleVue, Meade and Nagler in several focal lengths and wide-fields.

I must agree: there is a difference
But I also have to admit, due to the seeing conditions, the series 500's did very well!!

HELPFUL TIP!: At 5:30 in the morning all EP's start looking the same
