Marki Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I plan to arrive about mid day on the friday, and i think Marki will be getting there about same sort of time, if he can make this event. Not sure what time other people will arriveJust remembered I haven't actually booked yet - doh! Will give them a ring tomorrow and hopefully all will be well. I aim to get there around midday on the Friday 25th April as well. I assume everyone is leaving on the sunday, or is anyone staying on a bit?Now, which scope shall I take...

Plodge Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Hi - Just stumbled onto this - I have just bought my first telescope as I live at Moorlands so this event will be a great introduction for me. Looking forward to seeing you all here.Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plodge Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hi I have just bought a Skywatcher 150P reflector. Getting to grips with the eqatoial mount and the counter weights! Think I`ve got it now. Be good to get some practical advice. PeteSent from my GT-P1010 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plodge Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Hi Nightfisher - have you stayed at Moorlands before. The site is exposed with good viewing, which prompted me to get a telescope. There are lights to all hook up posts which may be a problem. The camping field at the back will be dark. Have you spoken with Steve/Peter the owners to arange the group?Sent from my GT-P1010 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightfisher Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Yes i have spoken with Pete and Steve, we think we will be in the camp field at the back, they are planning to add some more hook ups to this area in time for the camp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightfisher Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 I took a drive up to saddleworth to visit moorlands, have a look round and a face to face chat with Pete.We decided the back field will be the spot where we stage this, very close to the toilet/shower facility, this field has superb views, and all the surrounding towns will/should be screened by the hills, this field has 20 pitches, not all with EHU but we can share this out a little, the EHU will have to work on first come first served so to speak, though they are adding more hook ups. There will be a MAX of 20 people, we may have trouble taking cars into the camp field, if its been wet we will have to park just outside the field and walk gear into the camp area (very short walk) if its been dry for a while we can take cars onto field to unload, if this is the case i will supervise vehicles on and of.I have taken a few jpegs to show the area a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telescope40 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Yes Jules. Could be tricky as attending a wedding after a potenial ALL Nighter could be problomatic. May work on calling by on the Friday nite to see how things are going ( bring my kit ) but departing for some kip at a sensible hour ?I'll keep you posted.john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
