Imaging Session in November - NOT at Mike's

[Carole]

What is the date in November? (I am typing from work so don't have the OAS Calendar with me).

You could come to my house if I am free (haven't got much on in November), I have had lots of trees and shrubs cut down now, it would be suitable for 2 or 3 imagers.  However some-one needs to take the lead role who is an expert on imaging.

[Mike]

No idea, but it's irrelevant as it's been cancelled. If you can make a Friday in November then we can simply advertise it on here, the website and at the mext meeting.

[Carole]

I'm home now, and the original date was 20th November which I can host if no-one with better facilities offers.  My garden is not huge and there are one or two trees in distant gardens which get in the way from time to time.  But I thought this might preferable to having to cancel. 

I have a 32" Samsung TV (same as yours but smaller, I've never used it for linking to a laptop, but it does have the facility, should we need to do a presentation because it's cloudy.  I'll have to find out how to do that.

So please feel free to advertise if you think this will be OK.
If it's going ahead I'll be looking for one or two people to talk about aspects of imaging if it's cloudy, or demonstrate kit or something.

Anyone is welcome. if you've not been before then send me a message for full details.

.  Go into messages and send Mike a personal E Mail for his address etc.  I've you've not got access to this yet, E mail me.

... there are one or two trees in distant gardens which get in the way from time to time. 

Do you mean they tend to move around?

Very funny!!

I'm sure you know what I mean.

Not an ideal garden, but possibly better than cancelling the session.

You can use my garden in Eynsford, if you like as i said 140"x 55" all grass, would take about 30-40 people with scopes, only trouble is difficult to get low on the horizon. Again someone would have to front the meeting, who knows more than me

[Carole]

I am quite happy for it to be held somewhere more suitable.  I don't mind "fronting the meeting"  i.e. organising others to give a talk/demo if it is not suitable for imaging.

What do you think Mike?

It will certainly indoctrinate Simon into the spirit of things.

Sounds like a DSC

Simon,

usually there are only about up to 10 people at the imaging evenings, 90% fo the time it is too cloudy to go outside. I was a bit worried in case you were going to provide a bar b que for 40-50 people!!!!!!(with telescopes)

[Carole]

Simon, if we decided to take you up on your offer, are you OK to accommodate people in the house for an imaging discussion if it's cloudy.  Hopefully we can get some-one to talk on aspects of imaging. 

What do you think Mike?

We need to announce where we are going at the meeting, for those who don't use the Forum.

Carole

[Mike]

I won't be there so do what you like 

[Simon E]

Not much space in the house, espically if 10 people turn up. We are having some building work done at the house at the moment, which will be finished, i hope. Garden is perfect, but i suppose if it is cloudy then it is a pain. Trouble is we won't know til the day, what the weather is like.

Best to have attended at least one of these sessions so you know what folks expect before considering offering to host one yourself...

[Carole]

OK.

So does every-one want to come to my place then?

Not perfect, but the offer is there and I'll try to get something sorted for if it's not suitable for imaging.

I would need to know how many more experienced imagers will come as we'll need some-one who knows what they are doing so supervise those of us who are still learning.

i.e.
Mark
Robert
Fay
Ian
John
Chris
Duncan
Any-one I've missed

Carole, I can offer to hold it at my house on 20th Nov now I know the evening is free.  There isn't a big screen but I (or someone else) can demonstrate some techiques and tips or we can image if it's clear.  If folks want to bring their scopes then there's room for two or three of them on either patio.

I was typing this while you were posting your last reply but the offer still stands...
