Guest Fluke Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Really enjoyed it last year. Not sure whether to come or not this time though as I only have a mount at the mo and doubt I'll have a new scope in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brantuk Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Ahh that's good then - if you're just observing I can bring the 200P wich'll be fine on that. (It's got rings and dovetail - all you'll need is mount and eyepieces) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fluke Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 That sounds fantastic Kim, thanks very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I'll prob have my 200p and eq5 there as well if anybody wants to have a go at some visual. I'll most likely be in mission control watching the laptop so won't get to use it even though that was the intention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bob_Garton Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Hi All, Sorry i have not been back to this forum since Jan! :-( Anyway the nights are getting darker and had a great time the other night surfing the stars with my binos. Is it to late to book into this starparty. Never been to one before and will be nice to meet up and get some advice on my telescope etc. I dont have a caravan either so can i just come in my car and leave later at night? Kind regards Rob Castle Donington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 There's plenty of space left at the site so that shouldn't be an issue. You don't need a caravan, you could take a tent or at worst case sleep in the car. Most of us have a tent of some sort or other, there's only a few less adventurous folk who take tin snails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teslar Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Tin snail!! Lol. My camper has a 2.8 turbo and it's no slouch on the road. I take it your referring to the towed variety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
