Doc Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 What can I say, EMS2 was fantastic, the weather brilliant with two clear nights on Friday and Saturday, the moral of the story is don't trust the weatherman. I think we had 25 members turn up and at least 20 scopes to look through. Some fantastic pictures of the night sky got taken and Phil will have a hard time this month deciding a winner for PoTM. I stayed in Darrens tent again, he is a perfect host so many thanks Daz. Paul Money was out of this world or should I say on a different planet, he is an amazing talker and I really enjoyed his talk. He stayed on at the party until pretty late helping members with their scope troubles. Also thanks to Baz, Mike and Phil for the rocket display which was fantastic and hugely enjoyable. Anyway thanks to all the members who turned up and next years will be even bigger and better so watch this space. Lastly a huge thanks to Cosmic Dave for arranging it. A lot of effort goes into this so a huge thanks to Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philjay Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 A thoroughly enjoyable event with a great group of folks, ive not enjoyed a star party so much since my 1st kelling i reckon, the combination of good weather organisation and company made for a memorable event. Thanks to Dave and all who organised it, Mike and Verner von Baz for a great rocket display.. Still recovering with my feet up but will post some images/reports when I have regrouped.

cosmic dave Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Thanks very much guys, im so happy the weather forecast was way off. As I said at the campsite if the starparty was a movie it would be called ems2 the great escape. Really glad you all enjoyed it and I hope you will all be at ems3. We have a few changes and additions for next year's starparty planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock Doctor Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 A great weekend - rockets, a good talk, a chance to catch up with everyone and a fabulous sky last night. Thanks to Dave for arranging it and Kim for lending me the lounger last night.

BAZ Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 What an excellent week. I can only echo the above comments, with huge thanks to Dave for all his time and effort organising it. Also to Paul Money, for a presentation that appealed to any level of experience, and for attending the site afterwards. It even got Kim's eye at the scope, something I never thought possible. I had a great time, and the company and skies were amazing. Thanks to Stephan Green for making such a long journey from Eastbourne to be with us, that is dedication.
