[rubbing it in mode] Beautiful skies here. Left my scope out after last nights run so i didn't have to align it again.

Ontopic - still not sure if i can get time off. May be weeks yet before i know; hopefully it won't fill up too fast!

The rear flap may be open for business as I have to pay for my new lodestar guider camera somehow, bUt only open for a select few.
Passing trade gets a 20% surcharge

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

You guys make me laugh. I have tears streaming down my face.

I'd like to offer my services as Pimpette. Once I get the drivers working on this new computer, I'll print out some "Get it Here" signs for you.

[stanlite (Grady)]

how much is your service charge jj ... i want the G11 before astrofest after all

[whzzz28 (Nathan)]

And forgot to mention - got the time off work so i will be there for the full 10 days.

Hope to meet some members of IIS there. You won't miss me, ill be the one hovering around listening to the wiser words of the experienced.

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Don't just hover Nathan, make yourself known.
You won't miss the IIS crew, we mainly hang out around the Rotunda.
Though I'd say that at least 80% of the people attending the camp are members though they haven't come out of the closet about it.

[troypiggo (Troy)]

I think Allan is out of the closet.

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

This is the rear of Allans astro tent from last year for those who weren't there.

[Tandum (Robin)]

Of course. But it's got you a bit worried hasn't it.
My work here is done.

[hikerbob (Bob)]

Leave application is in and booking is made for the 10 days this time. Just a few other details to sort, my camera didn't survive the day last wednesday so hopefully thats fixable for a sane price.

[peter_4059 (Peter)]

Leave booked, registration complete, freezer suit due next week and a new toy supposed to arrive any day now

Can't wait!
