Imaging Session No. 20 - Friday 18th April 2008 at 8pm

[Mike]

The 20th Imaging Session will be held on Friday 18th April at 8pm (PLEASE DO NOT ARRIVE BEFORE 8PM !!!!!! )

This is for the astrophotographers or people interested in learning about astrophotography to get together and do some imaging. Anyone else who wants to come to watch and learn, or just do some observing is also welcome. No equipment or prior knowledge is needed.

Hot and cold drinks and nibbles are provided.

You are welcome to stay overnight if it is clear and you wish to do some astrophotography (or watch others do it). Bring a sleeping bag if you are staying overnight. Bring an extension lead if you need mains power. You are more than welcome to bring your own equipment along.

Please note that any member is welcome, even if you have no equipment and just want to watch and learn.

If you need the address, my phone number or any other information then send me a PM

[Mike]

If you want a talk then please give me a subject, otherwise it will be a Q&A and/or troubleshooting session (unless it is clear in which case we will be in the garden).

[Fay]

If possible, Mike, could you do a bit on flats please?

[Mike]

OK it doesnt leave me much time till Friday but i'll try.

[Fay]

Mike, don't worry, I can ask Mark or Robert, they usually come.

[Mike]

Just a reminder about the Imaging Session for tonight. Fay has requested a talk on Flats. I haven't had time to prepare a presentation but we can have a discussion about it. If anyone has any technical issues or has problems with software, kit, etc. then bring it along so we can take a look.

As it is our 20th session and therefore a bit special - we will be havng CAKE !

[Fay]

Oh my God not cake!!!!!



Mike I am ok with flats now, so if you want to leave it, that is ok, see how you go.

[Mike]

More tiem to eat cake then !!   

[Whitters]

Sorry I missed it, but I'm a bit of a crock with a slipped disc, but at least my raging tooth ache has taken my mind off the pain in my leg.

Thanks to Mike for coming up witht he idea and running the imaging sessions.

[Mike]

You missed a good one. We did sod all astronomy but drank beer, wine (ok tea and coffee too), the boys drove a Porsche around Donnington Park at 180 mph whilst the ladies discussed sex aids. Oh and there was CAKE !

Hope you get well soon mate.

[mickw]

I think you'll find the Porsche was driven INTO Donnington Park rather than round it 

Mmmmm...........  Cake 

Nice one Mike

[Fay]

Mick, with all the comings & goings, I missed the end of your "I turned the car over" story & "my plasma only lasted 2 years" story.

[mickw]

Fay,
One should always leave ones audience wanting more   

I did send the photo of the upside down car to the rental firm in UK so they could promote C.D.W. for other customers.   

[Fay]

Paul, hope you get better soon. You don't want to be reclining for too long, not with that nice new telescope around!
