I hope you bring a lot of tea bags

Are you selling any SGL merchandise? (Not even sure if any exists?)

[daz]

Oh yes - forgot!

We shall have Car Stickers (£1.00) and Beanie Hats (£7.49) on sale.

Excuse the ugly male model (!!!), but you can see them here

That's great I'll come down for a cup of tea. I will be on pitch 143 yellow field.... I'll be the one thinking 'where does this go, what is it? and why did I bring it......:icon_scratch:'

Having only really met experienced veterans (no that there's anything wrong with them!) up till now, it's one of my big goals at Kelling to try and meet/share beer/tea with some other relative newbies!

I especially want to meet some other newbie imagers if there are any out there who will be attending.

I went round and tried to say hello to some imagers at the spring Kelling but they mostly either glared at me or were busy chatting to people they knew... so I felt a bit of an unwelcome outsider.

I'll be on Yellow 163 desperately trying to get my Synguider working probably :-)

Won't have means of making tea but will have beer and biscuits, which I hope is a good alternative :-)

Really looking forward to meeting everyone there.

I'll be on pitch t223 or t240 on the blue field. Will have kettle and maybe beer. As a beginning imager would be great to chat to other newbies, so come and say hallo if I don't find you first.

I might just be interested in one of those hats.

As long as it doesn't make me look like that... Oops, too late!

[onesmallstep]

Hi

I'm car camping (no tent) on Red T413 and will be at KH Thursday 22nd to Sunday 25th if anyone wants to say hi.

[brantuk]

We'll be on Red 304 if anyone fancies dropping by to say hi. If we ain't there it's cos we're having tea and chats at all the pitches mentioned above lol

[daz]

@ben - I promise you won't get that reception down on the blue field

[rocketandroll]

Change of address!!!

:-)

Due to some wonderful luck and a lovely SGL'er who wanted to swap, I'm now on Red 306, not Yellow 163.

Still keen to meet and swap a beer with anyone and everyone!

Anyone with experience of Synguiders or a colimnator I can borrow will be esspecially welcomed :-)

Ben

You do realise that you will be in bed by 10:30?

It's the law on Red Field

What do you need collimating?

Rob.

I might just take you up on that Rob

I will be on blue 226 (though only Fri night / Sat night so no using my pitch as the tea tent on Thurs!) Feel free to drop by at laugh and the virgin camper with all the kit and not a clue

[brantuk]

@Robh - you'd better move into 304 with us Rob -we'll be pestering you about imaging forever lol.

@Ben - Don't worry mate - we'll have our Meg72 as well two doors down on 304, so we'll rename it to Meg72 Row

I'm picking up a (almost)second hand AT 6" Ritchey-Chrétien astrograph the day before I come to kelling. It's apparently never been used (and er-go never collimated) and has been brought back on a plane from the US.

Having only ever used refractors so far, it's never been something I've needed to check or learn how to correct... so will need to get it sorted fast on Friday if I'm gonna use it over the weekend.

It's f9 but 1.37m fl so I'm planning to use it on small bright galaxies and globulars. If I can get it to work :-)

Ben

PS: Cheers Kim... yeah, just realised I'll be just a couple of doors down from you :-) Hoping I'll be in the right place to blag lots of advice on the imaging stuff from everyone!
