Deep Sky Camp - Fri 22nd to Mon 25th May

[Mike]

Report from Headcorn Internet Cafe:

Well we are all sat in the field sitting in the sun, drinking a beer. The weather is glorious and the skies last night were so good everyone was up until sun-up.

If you were considering coming down, please do so as we are having a great time.

[Mike]

Well we are still at the field and 8 of us are staying tonight. Last 2 nights have been fantastic - clear all through the night and fromw hat we can tell tonight will also be clear. The weather is scorching hot and it couldn't be better

Mike,

Should we (the day visitors have paid) last night?  Not sure how the money side is being done at the Woodlands site.  You had gone to bed early so we couldn't ask you.

Let us know and we can pay anything we owe in arrears.

Mike,

The guy didn't collect my money either so if you could pay anything I owe (I'd refund you at the next meeting) then that would be great.

It looks like you had another fine night as good if not better than the first and tonight looks like it'll be the same.  I'm looking forward to some cracking images from Chris, Fay, Jim, Dunc and whoever else has managed to get down there.

Bar the small town of tents that sprung up it looks like a much better venue for DSC than Tuesnoad.

Thanks
Robert

Gutted I missed yet another DSC, this time I couldn't arrange my mate to bring me down in his car, my mount's now fixed though, so at least I can do deep sky imaging again. looking forward to seeing the images you guys have taken, I'm thinking of heading to sixpenny handley some time soon, If anyone wants to tag along, tell us, the place has the darkest skies in southern britain except for deepest cornwall.

Tut tut! Naughty boy!!

No internet access at the field so only saw this message when I got home. You'll have to post them a cheque.

Strange..............................

We all look surprisingly sober

Crikey (being careful not to offend)

Just did me sums and there were 12 overnight attendees and 9 member visitors to DSC   

Then there was about 8000 campers that were getting "involved" - OK might not have been 8000, it was dark and I may have been p#ssed.

Stunning weekend though 

[Rocket Pooch]

Phew! I though someone took pictures of me asleep, got away with it.

[Fay]

Mick, put your photo's on, you have some good one's there!

[Fay]

I am totally exhausted, today, like a zombie  hope I survive the day!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mike]

Can those that went to the DSC please give your opinion of the weekend, campsite facilities, what cheesed you off, what was good, etc.

Thanks.
