Me and a couple of friends are coming for the first few days with my telescope! None of us have ever been to an astrofest/starparty thing before, so it should be fascinating for all involved

I had planned to come to Astrofest this year in lieu of SPSP , but family commitments have ruled it out! I had booked and paid for the first 5 days....the best laid plans....
Hopefully in 2011.

ROD!!!!  noooo you must be kidding,
you could virtually keep in touch via a telecommunications device that transmits speech by means of electric signals - (or the analogue phone on the wall at the house near the imaging field)

Booked in at the camping area for the whole event. My daughter Rose is turning 21 on the 8th(Sunday), and is wanting to come up for Sat and Sun nights. Reckons a starparty sounds "waycool", very Big bang theory...

Listen you organisers of Astrofest  - you promised that it would be perfect for the whole event looking forward a tad to some very sketchy forecasting it says that Pauls half of the imaging field will be cloudy and mine will be clear 
Can you organise for his half to clear in case i wish to image that way

I'm in..... Start to finish.
Will have the 8" SCT & the 20" SDM. 
Pam needs the car for work during the week, so on the first Sunday I'll be taking the car home & coming back up on the bike.
Will get the car again the following Sunday & drag the trailer home..

I'll be there (baring the unexpected) from Tuesday 10th to Sunday 15th, and running off on the Friday to bring the wife and daughter (3½) up for those last two nights. Their first time. Just hope when its time to pack up on Sunday there's room in the car for everybody and everything!
This wet weather we are having here worries me a bit though. Hopefully the weather gets all the wetness out of its system by the time Astrofest rolls around, and we can have cold clear nights.
See you there!
Noel
