Month to go. Looking forward to getting back to those dark skies and meeting up with everyone (old and new) 👍🏻

Sorry you'll miss another Pete heal quickly

Merry Christmas to all who attend and support Scotlands premier star party 🥳

Booked the 6th to the 12th Feb. Looking forward to it already

Arrived home at 5pm and stopped on the way for a bite to eat. Drove through rain for just over 200miles before the skies cleared and a bit of blue appeared. There was hell of a lot of standing water on the A75 and I saw 2 accidents around Creetown. Many thanks to Derek for running this again and to all that attended to make the event what it is. I have already booked for the spring event so will pop a post on that thread too. For those that are still on site, good luck for tonight and clear skies

Morning campers. Heading home today and the weather is a little showery at present. Nice rainbow drifting over the site with some blue sky making an appearance

Tonight has been clear for a good hour. Tonight's phone shot of the skies Had to prop the phone at the bottom of the washing carousel

You'd love the skies here 😉

Well the clouds have broken and wow A few shots straight off the phone

The winds have subsided a little over the last hour so time for the morning camp shots Where's that pot of gold?? And some angry looking clouds above the hills

Morning all the camp has been a busy one for me. The winds from 5am have been gale force and with all the rain overnight the site is a little soggy to say the least. My utility tent has taken a fair beating and one of the guy lines is now attached to the van wheel as the peg wouldn't hold in the ground!! The wind has changed direction since so a little respite. A cuppa is in order next 😉

Today is a quieter day on the campsite with a few heading home this morning. Safe journey to all those that headed back. The weather has finally broken with blustery winds and rain making a pronounced appearance for the first time since I arrived on Thursday. Hopefully the calm weather will return for the evening and some clear skies will grace us.

Phone photo of Orion rising over the shower block After the initial dewey start there is a slight breeze but the dew has gone. Skies are more transparent than last night

Campsite has filled up a little more during the day and the skies are looking nice and clear.

Sunny skies and scopes. What better to see during a star party except for clear skies

A very frosty start to the morning

Just a quick phone photo of the skies tonight.

Dob row

The mob have arrived Go big or go home 😉

Morning campers A very bright a slightly frosty camp site. Just a few milling about

Derek, Calvin, Steve, Ian and Jonathon here already. Think John is on his way?

As you may be aware it may be raining at the time of arrival?? Some clear blue sky on the way in. And the usual suspects 😁

Be good to meet you in the spring. I'm all packed ready for this one. So early start tomorrow and hopefully be there early aft.

Slight change to my dates I'm venturing up Thursday and hoping the Friday Saturday forecast holds out
