Like everyone else, I’m totally gutted and sorry not to be catching up with everyone again this year. Having said that, I’m shocked by how bad Hereford (and the surrounding areas) are so it looks like it’s for the best.
I still want to say thanks to @Grant and the team; it must be extra gutting for you after all the hard work but I’m sure we’ll all be there for the next one to say thanks in person. Your efforts are always greatly appreciated, I think nature just got her own way this time and that’s no ones fault!
Thanks once againWill

That's a shame our little group have been in the same spot for a few years, been in the Oaks many years ago and the only advantage was being a shorter walk to the toilets 😂
Agreed! It’s a shame but I’m still going to come and bug you. I’ve bought some cider from the thatchers shop especially!

I should be ok with the caravan then. Still thinking of hiring a hovercraft after last year 🤣
Wow, I'd actually completely forgotten about the potential 'flooding' incident lol I even unhooked the van just in case we had to make an emergency run for it in the middle of the night!

Just wondering if there's a pitch plan as I can't find one anywhere?
If we can get on Kingfisher again then that would be great but happy to pitch up anywhere really, I will be quite late getting there so I'd imagine I would have to ring up Lucksall to give them my car registration details.You're usually near us so if you need a hand, Becks and I will come and assist!
Cheers

I see a plan forming! lol

another +1 for radio astronomy I actually have a spare Sky dish from yesteryear that I was going to try and incorporate into something homemade - maybe I should bring it along!

All booked up too, very much looking forward to it this year. Also, let me throw my name (and Becks') in for any volunteering - especially dogsbody stuff. If you need clearing, tidying, help with the marquee, we're all over it.
Cheers

The only problem might be Will's new tour bus - it's huge and will block most horizons.
This was the first thing that worried me too! Perhaps I should park it a couple of miles away and cycle in lol

Thanks Adrian, I'm tempted by option number two! lol Its just a test to see if I can put them together to be honest so if it works a better (perhaps custom built solution) could be made.
Cheers

No its definitely a weird one and not something I've come across before. I'd be tempted to make something myself but I'd be going back to CDT classes (showing my age there!) since I last used threading dies! lol

This is more of an equipment question but I can't think where else to put it so have settled for this forum
This week at SGLIX I'm playing around with a new bit of kit (180degree fisheye lens) and some existing kit but I'm a bit stumped trying to put the lens onto a specific camera. The lens has a standard c-mount but the only way of attaching to the camera is via a standard 1.25" filter thread (which I think is M28.5). Now there are plenty of male c-mount to 1.25 nosepiece adapters (I have one, and similar adapters) but for the life of me I can't find anything that is female c-mount to male m28.5 (i.e. 1.25" filter thread).
Anyone come across anything like this before or have any ideas? Even a female c-mount to female 1.25' nose piece might work.
Cheers

I'm having to the much dreaded reinstall of everything on to new hardware (much put-off laptop upgrade) and its remarkable what you forgot you did first time around! Even though I'm used to astrophotography software I remember using this guide installing on the last machine because its so useful! Now I'm going through it again and its just as useful lol

Be fantastic to meet up again. I don't mind where it is or even the odd dodgy night, it'll just be nice to see some faces again!
And, y'know, some stars and stuff!
