[Les]

Oct 1st? Day before my birthday. Is it ok to come along?

[mickw]

Les, you may want to consider going to an imaging session closer to home, if only for a chat or to see what goes on.
They are usually held in the Bromley/Orpington area at a members home, the one in October is close to Ashford.

The chance of getting a lift is slim due to the amount of equipment that usually gets taken, which is even worse at DSCs - you already know the size of a dobsonian.

I am not trying to scare you off, but this can rapidly become an expensive hobby (astro photography) and you need to appreciate what you are potentially getting into.

Try not to rush into any decision.

Mick

[RobertM]

Les,  it's a bit to early to tell whether I'm going but if I do , which is most likely, then you are welcome to a lift.  Do bear in mind though that you will be spending most of the night at Marks freezing to death with the rest of us

[Rocket Pooch]

Am I the only one wondering who Les is , do you have a picture Les?  Can't remember you at a meeting.

[Mike]

Rick,

The August Imaging Session date on the front of the OAS website is wrong. Can you amend it please. Thanks.

[Rick]

Done.

[Les]

Am I the only one wondering who Les is , do you have a picture Les?  Can't remember you at a meeting.

Chris

I be one of the newbies. Only been to one meeting (the last one) and no pic yet.

[Mike]

Carole will now be hosting an Imaging Session at her house on the 8th October from 8:15pm onwards.

The dates for Imaging Sessions for the rest of 2011 are therefore now:-

Friday 19th August - Mikes
Saturday 1st October (Overnight) - Marks
Saturday 8th October - Caroles
Friday 18th November - Mikes

[Mike]

Mark, can you confirm what time your session will start please?

[MarkS]

There's no real start time - arrive anytime from late afternoon onwards.

Mark

[Mike]

OK Thanks.

[Mike]

I can't do the 18th November now due to a family party. How about Friday 2nd December instead?

[Carole]

Another concert that night I'm afraid.

Carole

[Mike]

Any other objections to the 2nd December?

[doug]

Okay with us, Mike.  The following day is the BEECHE moonwatch.....

Doug.

[Mike]

OK only one objection so i'm going to make it the 2nd December.

Ian please can this date change be announced at the meeting and Rick can you please update the website.

Thanks,

Mike

[Rick]

Website changed.

[Mike]

Just a reminder to all that are interested that the final Imaging Session of 2011 will be this Friday at my house from 8pm onwards. Festive treats will be provided.



See you there.

[Mike]

Final reminder for tonights Imaging Session at 8pm onwards.

Anyone is welcome. Just send me a Private Message if you need my address.

The session goes on regardless of weather. If it is clear we will go out in the garden. If it is cloudy we will stay in, eat nibbles, drink and chat. Either way it is a nice social evening.

See you tonight if you are coming.

[Fay]

see you later, Mike, thanks
