The dates for the Imaging Sessions for 2012 are:-
17th February
25th May
24th August
16th November
All on a Friday at my house at 8pm.
If you need my address then send me a Private Message.
I am looking for volunteers to hold imaging sessions at their houses in the months in-between.
Thanks,
Mike
There is already a session organised at my house on 16th March and I have made it early for those who can make it as there is a conjunction of Mars and Jupiter at 7pm. Obviously some people will not be able to make it as early.
This session is to concentrate on webcam imaging as Mars will be in a good position at 8pm onwards and Saturn at around midnight if any-one wants to stay that long.
I would appreciate some people coming who are experienced in webcam imaging, if you could let me know.
We can also do Registax processing and post-processing which Kylee would like to see.
I have also offered another on 21st September.
Didn't Mark offer a couple of dates at High Halden as well?

I did indeed, in a previous thread on the same topic: http://forum.orpington-astronomy.org.uk/index.php?topic=7975.msg53227#msg53227 (http://forum.orpington-astronomy.org.uk/index.php?topic=7975.msg53227#msg53227)
I had offered:
Sat 18 Feb
Sat 16 June
Sat 15 Dec
I'm still happy to host sessions on all 3 of those dates, though Mike has already arranged Fri 17 Feb, which was announced at the last OAS meeting.

Can only make 15th December at Mark's place.
In Iceland on 18th February and going to a wedding on 16th June.

Oh it's definitely just you ;)
We have doubled up in September with one on 21st and one on 28th. I am happy to cancel mine on 21st as I am sure no-one wants two imaging sessions 1 week apart.

Just a reminder to you all that we have an Imaging Session at Robert's this coming Friday. Although it is early days the forecast is looking promising. We may actually get a chance to do some real imaging !
I have power by the paved area at the top of the garden and also on the patio by the house. There's probably room for 3 complete setups if needed. Lots of extension leads also so don't bring any of those.
One thing I would say is that the garden will be a bit muddy so be prepared to take your shoes off when you come back in. Also it may be a bit slippery though I'll try to sort that out beforehand.
I suppose it depends on how many people are planning to come and would like to image but personally I'm not too fussed.
I'd like to come (hopefully i can find you this time ;) ) but I'm happy to just do some processing etc, my M31 is still begging to be finished and some input from others would he helpful, I'm still struggling with the colours!
Apparently the weather still looks good for later this evening... Anyone know what time is good to turn up at Robert's?
From 8:15pm...
Sorry can't make it tonight, got back ache (old problem that arises now and then), and not fit enough to lug kit around.

Thanks for a great evening Robert, discussing the universe and weird science.
It was great to have such a varied conversation about cosmological theories. Robert thanks for your hospitality and the tasty nibbles.
I have to agree, i might not understand much (most) of it but such fascinating subjects of conversation all the same. A brilliant evening thanks Robert.
A very interesting evening and thanks, Robert for supplying us with drinks and nosh. Very nice indeed.
Rose and Doug.
