International Astronomy Show this Friday and Saturday.. at Stoneleigh Park..

I'm heading down on the Friday. The Saturday astrophotography lecture has been changed, so Friday now seems the best bet to me. Anyone going? Always nice to see a friendly face..

 

Cheers

Would i miss an astro show Dave.......???

Of course not !!

This will be my third this year !!

 

I'm going down on the Friday too........not 100% sure how long i'll stay for as i may need to get back by mid afternoon.

Probably get there fairly early.

I need to sort out my tickets i guess : i'm planning on attending lecture number 2. Possibly just that one.

The last two years have been pretty quiet, almost subdued at times actually.

I could probably buy my talk tickets on the day : i'm sure they will be nowhere near full ?

 

If you're only planning a visit with the same sort of time parameters as me, you'd be welcome to come down with me ; i'd be happy to drive.

And this......

 

Being a classic car enthusiast , i'm looking forward to seeing Patrick Moore's old Ford Prefect there which has been restored by Rother Valley.

Now where shall I begin?

Berlebach Tripod

Altair ultra flat Eps ...

 I will try very hard not to cause serious damage to my credit card.

Theres a Berlebach on UKABS at the moment, same one as my own.

Not sure what fitting it is though......?

Well folks, I am going down on Saturday, travelling in the same car along with 4 other astro members from the Mansfield and Sutton in Ashfield Astro Club. I always look forward to this one. Will be pulling in a couple of lectures too. 👍

I'm a little concerned by the potential for flooding between here (Derby) and there.......

Hopefully it will be ok.
