One week to go normally camps start at 2pm onwards. But I know people have been there earlier. I hope to be there by lunch Friday, but my scope takes 2 min to set up

Hope fully the weather will be kind. But either way it will be just nice being there, even with Jen and her bro hanging around

I pray for one real great night of great seeing perfect transparency not much to ask is it

I will also need a camping spot for Friday night only. Is there a fee for the camp? Sounds like a fun place to hold a star event.

Fix your pushbuttons at camp!

OK, here's the offer. I'll have leftover stuff to refurbish your pushbuttons and it goes off - so happy to let you have what is left after I do my handset.

Edit - I should have mentioned - it takes 24 hour to set/dry so you do without your handset for a night!

gday Joe you will have such a great time on Friday night that you will find that you will cancel all other plans and stay for the whole weekend Sat night is the best, that seems to be when all the big scopes pop out from no where Great company and lots of toys to play with, where else would you rather be

Very stormy in Vic today

But just a warning for those who have not been to this camp before.
It will get very cold at night even this time of year , it can get down to 1 or 2 c early morning.

lets hope for nice crisp clear nights.

Well Jen, I have never been to one of these star parties before. So I will see how the one night goes. I had previously made appointments for Saturday and Sunday. If all goes well, I will make better plans for November.

Relax and take it easy Martin,


Your going to need your rest, I would imagine your going to be giving lots of tours of your set-up and new toys. It's been a long time between drinks, so to speak and I'm itching to go!


Not a problem Ken! Just planning my weekend already. I just wanted to get in and beat Martin, to the best spot!!!!!!!
