Who's Going To The 2012 South West Star Party??

[John]

Got my confirmation by post yesterday. Looking forward to it! Must get round to posting on the mugshot thread too!

It will be great to meet up again Anthony

I still have the Ambermille alt-az mount I bought from you - it's done me great service with a wide range of scopes on board.

Hi John,

Yes looking forward to it. Glad to hear that the mount is still doing well. On a similar note I am still using those binocular holders - a great little device!

All the ones I've been to have been at the Lucksall campsite. So far I've had clear skies all the way as well - even this year !

The forecast for the coming weekend seems a bit mixed but it will be fun to meet and chat even if we don't get much observing in. I think I'll bring a scope that can be set up / put away quickly !
