everything in kens original "What not to do at a star party!"
Now that we all know each other a lot better, a serious eyepiece comparison during the day. Line up the tables, series 500 at one end and at the cheap end, the TV's and go thru what you guys actually do when you look thru an eyepiece during the day!
Collimation of the scopes again.
Photoshop session
DVD sessions, videos.
Strippers
Buy / Sell
Have a talk to Bintel Melbourne, get one of the guys to pop on out with some new gear and /or projects
God-damn it was good to see strippers on that list! Twice also! As long as they're not the same ones!
What about a solar observing session for the day? I've put a solar filter on my christmas list but I don't know if santa is going to bring me it or not.
no i have a pretty pink dress that i am not getting out of for anybody!!!
with the eyepiece comparison, a daylight one and a night one.
thru dobs, tracking newts, refractors and sct's hopefully robin can make the trip.
i was going to mention solar, but the original thought was what to do if raining, so i thought solar might be a bit hard. strippers are all weather!
when you say high end, is mick pinners 6" high end. excuse the ignorance, but i would love to have a look thru a good to very good refractor. not to compare, to enjoy!

Geez your funny You can't get away from that dress can you
Yeh solar observing under the clouds What was I thinking, not!
As for high end scopes how about a little 6" Mak
Or a 5" Apo of the Astro-Physics type
Nag gts055 to come(Mark) and he can bring his 5" Apo Takahashi
Once you have looked you will succum to the Newt killers.
If that Tak comes to the camp I will have to think of some way to distract everyone so I can hog it. Maybe if I drop a slab of VB in the middle of the field...
Nah, people would just trip over it...hey yeah (whoohohahaaa, whoooohaahaaa )
I'll drop the money around this week, $26.40 was for both nights wasn't it?
Yeah I'll be in that but no shouting. I got sensitive ears.
Seriously, I like to pay my own way. Let me know how much to chip in. I think I will bring lots of salads though. On a health kick. Don't want to put back on all the weight I lost in one weekend. Protein and salads. Cool.
What is there in the way of barbie equipment? Do I need to bring my camping cooking gear?
i am only doing a friday night thing. i am going to buy a roll of eye fillet an marinate etc, chuck in some jacket potatoes. and we can cook em up. i will make a sauce.
everything else is each persons own way.
A roll of eye of fillet costs me around $30, so i am not out of pocket.
Nothing super organised, i just thought i would like cook for my mates!!
Well, I might buy a carton of crownies then Dave. Just a couple for each who want them to wash down the meal. Since Ken does not drink I will get him something nice and soft to drink.
we need some back up plans.
Twice also! As long as they're not the same ones!
