Stephen,

 

Sorry, can I just make sure I understand you, so they want to set up a dark sky site on their camping site, and they want us (us as in EMS or us as in yourself and your group down south), to help them do that?

 

And by "they have the backing of the council", I`m not quite sure what this would entail as their site is private property, what could the council do?

 

Do you have any other information on what they are planning, you say they have no idea how much things cost, what are they looking at?

 

This answers the question why I am getting no where with them when trying to organise another EMS star party  :angry:

Hi Darren they are thinking of doing a dark sky site ,They had £200 to spend on a telescope , I think they are looking to try and earn more money but they do not want interfer with there camping, They do seem to able get grants, I did not take it to serisly, I had my solarscope there and people came across to look at the Sun that is when they spoke to me she was surprised how much my scope cost, It might be worth talking to them or it might worth trying for another site I just do not no. It does get invaded by young familys at the weekends I did put my scope then for safty
