Guest CodnorPaul Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Yes that's fine Mike - whatever is best, just let me know if it changes based on others attending On a separate note as if you got Mr James Dawson officially published for an astronomy picture by the BBC - hope he has noticed...and will remember the favour when he is the next presenter on S@N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Strings Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I have stuff on the following day which may impact on the saturday, but I'll be there with a scope if I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I'll be there - no idea which scope(s) I'll bring - too spoiled for choice - all depends how I feel and what mood I'm in lol. Probably best employed in the field giving sky tours with a laser and then views through a scope to see the stuff I've mentioned. But I'll leave that for you to decide Mike, (I'll try and have something to go on display too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Thanks John, Kim. You have been added to the list Just as a point of note, I looked on the BBC website at work today and we come up as the first result for Nottm, in the top 3 for Derby, Long Eaton and Loughborough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bagman Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Mike, have an old tungston lamp projector with VGA input if this is of any help? Also laptop to drive it with Stellarium installed. Also have a SW 130P Heritage Dob if a "beginners" scope is required. Anything I can do just shout Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perkil8r Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 I'm formulating a plan now for a range of sizes of each scope and bino's. Small through to as big as we can get between us, that way folks can see a good range. What we are thin on the ground on at the minute is small refractors -------- looking in Wayne's direcion :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawson Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Mike (et al), might be helpful to the people visiting if there was a sheet of A4 paper with a list (and maybe a small picture of) the various bits of kit, then they could tick off the ones they have looked through and also if they really liked one bit of kit they could make some notes and then do more research when they get home, plus the sheet could have the links to EMS. Just a thought. JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
