Snake Valley Astro Camp

[Astroman (Andrew Wall)]

I kept the SV100 list, I hope to photograph some of the objects on it. Makes a good project.

Great shots - I recognise a few of those faces! Looked like a great event.

Loved all the pictures, it looked like a great time was had by all.

I'll really have to get a star party one day, they definitely look like a great social gathering.

Cheers

Sounds a great meet. Err, how many snakes do you usually find in Snake Valley?

Only the occasional one that you would expect in any country town. Snake Valley is named after the winding shape of the creek 'snaking' through the Valley

Someone who attended Camp has left behind a Milk Crate containing plastic containers. Whoever the containers belong to, I will post them onto to you if you can identify them.

They were in the Milk Crate on the bench next to the fridges

At last some time to sit and type, another great event thanks Ken et al. It was good to catch up with some "old" friends and meet some new ones. As usual special thanks to John and Anna for their mobile hospitality, and to Dave for his informative eyepiece chats and allowing me to try his LVWs in the ZS110. And no its not for sale even though I now need some cash to buy new eyepieces.

Two memorable moments was seeing Uranus in the SDM and Dave's excitement at seeing the Airy disks around both "Cats Eyes" with the 110 and his 3.5 LVW

Pictures of some wildlife
1) cormorant, pelican and swift
2) purple swamp hen
3) black swan and swanlets
4) orange banded CGE

Cheers
