Is any-one going to this, it clashes with DSC?
I thought I might go on the Friday.
Carole
I'll go on Saturday if DSC is rained off.
I may go on saturday to astrofest and then go to DSC Saturday night

Carole,
It is probably safer for your purse if you cannot go to Astrofest. Last year you unexpectedly ended up buying a complete observatory!

Yes I thought of that too!!
:cheesy:
Great day at Astrofest. Robert, Julian & friend, Lee & Greg there today. Robert & I had carrot cake & coffee & a good chat with Nik Szymanek. Saw Peter Shah & Gordon Haynes. Had a several chats with Gary of Pulsar Domes.
We were there for quite a while, Brian May, Brian Cox & Patrick were there, but we did not see them. Really crowded when the lectures turned out.
The feet were hurting on the last stretch.
Have you noticed my composure regarding purchases ................................. :o
What have you bought :roll:
It was Nik's fault.................................you know what I have bought..........................................and Robert
Better cancel March DSC as well then :-?
Hurah. Im free of the blame now, woop woop. :cheesy:
What woz it ........................... pleeeeeease tell.................... wot woz it ............ :o
Doug.
Does that mean theres an Atik for sale? Or will it be used as a guider now you have joined the semi-pros. It'll be a dome next!
I am in denial at the moment, don't want to think about it!!!!!!!! I will be sorting out a few little bits to sell though, to ease my conscience. it does not arrive for 3 weeks anyway

So you're moving house as well :o
Slightly off topic, but just had a look at my escapades from the 2008 astrofest with the Burgess :-?
Nearly 4 months for delivery then another month for replacement element :(
Oh ok, I have ordered the QSI 583WS. All day I had not made a decision as it is very expensive, looked at the other camera's & really went there not knowing if I would order anything or nor.
It was only having a good chat to Nik, and his friends, that convinced me it would be a good purchase, as they all had one & were very pleased. Does not alter the fact that I am a bit spooked by how much I spent...I will get over it
Will you speak to us now you have Nik for a friend and a camera just like he has :cry:
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Mick, don't want you to think I am showing off, I have known Nik for quite a while....that sounds worse. :lol: :lol:
Well it doesn't sound better :roll:
:lol:
I thought would have gone for the wsg

Nice one!
If I were to buy one, it's definitely the one I would go for.

WSG a step too far Mick!
Watched a small video taken at Astrofest, on one of the forums, looked like our Paul was there, did not see him
Nice purchase,
all you need now is an observatory and dark skies ;)
Mac.
Quoteall you need now is an observatory
And we can kiss clear skies goodbye forever :roll:
Well done Fay, cloud forever....
QuoteAnd we can kiss clear skies goodbye forever

OI, You're not off the hook yet...................
You broke the weather, Fay is just making sure it stays broken :!
Looks like the knitting will be coming out, anyone for a jumper with matching scarf for Christmas, as I'm now taking orders and by all the gear that has been purchased recently I'll be busy..........Pearl one, knit one............... ;)
Well done Fay on your purchase. :D

I haven't got over it yet Tony..........I do laugh at that horse every time Mac get's it out :lol: :lol: :lol:
I thought you would have gone to the show, Tony, to get an Equinox?

Flis thinks houses are more important. She is looking at houses, and I'm looking at South facing gardens. ;)
Maybe soon there will be a new scope in a new garden. :D

Intriguing ...
is it me, or has aperture fever been replaced with garden fever?
Ian,
Lets be practical now! You can physically see the garden, but you cannot see the heavens, well not for the last few months anyway, and now with new cameras, observatories and Chris's new scope, other than knitting, gardening seem the next best thing to do at present, and a new one seem a better option than the one I have at present. ;)

But what happens if the QSI arrives while you're taking the boots back - "Somebody" might refuse to accept it :twisted:
