Title: Elephant & a Perseid....
Post by: JohnP on Aug 15, 2008, 12:30:43
OK - Not a great image but my only one of the Perseids...(Is this the only one any OAS imagers got?) Happened when I was taking first test sub of Elephant - Just a single 4min sub..

Mike - I thought you had this in the August challenges - I was going to claim the prize but see you didn't have Perseids listed :-(

No I didn't strictly put it down on the list but I did say in the meeting that it was an opportunity for people toview or even image a Perseid. It's the only one so far so i will ensure it gets included in my presentation :)

Chris,

We have decided not to purchase the pikey 2000 now we know the bed is broke.
And I am going to have to explain that Flis getting warmed up in the caravan, and the bed breaking were 2 separate incidents. :oops:

If it requires fixing, I'll get my carpenters tools out of the mothball cover chest in the attic and come down and fix it, give me a call.  ;)
