Perkil8r Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Help will be appreciated I'm sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Here's the plan: Set up will start at 3pm when the scout building will be opened for us. I will be there earlier hopefully to start getting the CC sorted. A slight amendment to the layout will be that the imaging rigs will be in the CC along with the Imaging slideshow and Planetarium software demonstration. This should allow a bit more space in the Scout building for the scopes which would have been outside. It will also keep a theme running through too. We need to park as tight as possible as space will be very limited. I suggest we unload then park up closer. It is very unlikely the weather will clear enough for any observing so we will at least be warmer I have a Physics teacher from the school coming to help with the experiments and I have a couple more hands on activities for the younger visitors to get involved with. Steve is going to bring his solar scope and give a commentary on his slideshow as and when anybody shows an interest. On sat morning Kim will be on BBC Radio Leicester, they had rung me but I was not brave enough to do it so passed the opportunity to Kim whom I am sure will do us all proud. Break a leg Kim it should be on air around 9:40am if anybody would like to tune in. Fingers crossed it all goes well, there's not much more we can do now. Any questions please speak up. Thanks to all who have offered help. The main list of stuff is on page 4 with the changes of imaging set up location and the outside folks will now mostly be in the Scout building. James will also be in the CC with the other imaging rigs, set up to show how little kit is needed to take some stunning star trail shots. Anybody who has had a change of circumstances please let me know ASAP as there are more willing to attend if you can't, but I will need time to contact them to arrange this.

dawson Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Does sound good. Is CC the hut we use at night? Are the lights going to be off in one part for the stellarium show, but on in another so people can see the kit? I've printed out various star trails to pun (or blue tac) to the walls around me.

Brantuk Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 CC means Cricket Club James - generally refers to WW in general or to the pavillion. Don't confuse it with Belper which also has a CC lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glider Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Is the A6 still single lane because of the burst water main? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 it is but that is further on I think, the previous leak has now been fixed so the bit just off the M1 is back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 There is still access to the A6006, the leak is the other side of Hathern. Like we need more water eh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fondofchips Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 There is still a slim chance of a break in the cloud between 6pm & 9pm, so having some binoculars handy would be good. We have 2 pairs, already in the car so we can't forget them! Will also bring our scope as planned, see you later. Cheers, Harry & Wally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
