I thought it might be good to do this so that we recognise each other 😉

This is me 🙂

Aw, that's a shame. Have a good time there - don't spend too much!!

[Jkulin]

OK, here you go: -

I was having a bad hair day! I'm on the right 🙄. Hopefully it will be presented better tomorrow 🙂

I shall be there on both days as I have booked in for a few talks, I was looking forward to hear Paddy Gilland, But I understand he's not well or his wife isn't.

I think it's nice to see what other members look like, particularly when you can't get to gatherings.  Should update my avatar I guess (grey hair)...

Nah Gina, I bet that's just the way the sun catches it😉, ladies mellow whereas us men just look old and knackered!

[DaveS]

OK, this is me

Amazingly it didn't break the camera lol. I may still have my DaveS badge from Astrofest, which I'll have if I can find it.

Here’s me for what it’s worth. Cheers John

[Chris]

I might have the same beany

Just wondering out loud, so tell me to mind my own business if I'm stepping in but....wouldn't it be better to put this thread in the other lounge where your images are a tad more private and not open to all and sundry?

Personally I'm not fussed, anyone can meet me in the street or anywhere else for that matter. My photo at my age isn't going to grab the attention of loads of fans like it did in my youth🤣

What kind of thing would people do with our mug shots? Just wondering what your concerns were?

To be honest, there's no personal concern. Merely raising the notion of privacy, of the settings, so to say. Other than that, sites such as these do raise a few interesting points.

Could turn into SGL’s top10 most wanted list ??  LOL 

[Davey-T]

Got one somewhere, just need to P'Shop the numbers off the bottom, or there's the one on the mantel piece that keeps the children away from the fire 😂

Dave

[Robny]

Oh boy....

Well....here you go!!

I'm the one on the right 🤪

[John]

Thats me in my avatar. Here is a larger version:

[DaveS]

Damn, Blast, and Bother.

I may not be able to make it as I've stuffed up my back AGAIN . Not sure how, probably sitting too long at the computer bashing my head against a recalcitrant NAS, but when I tried to get up my back froze, sending pains down both legs, almost paralysing them. Got up eventually, but 3 1/2 - 4 hours each way in the car is looking problematic.

Damn, damn, damn. There are people I want to meet up with, not just SGL, but also Astrograph and OOUK.

Will try to unfreeze things tomorrow.

Damn.

[Davey-T]

Excuse the scowl and the designer stubble, it's my driving licence picture.

Dave

[AdeKing]

This is me, though I'm quite a bit greyer now.

That'll be the stress of astro' imaging Ade 

Dave

[AdeKing]

No, a side effect of being a frustrated visual astronomer. If I was an imager I think I'd be snowy white. 🤣

Hope that you manage to un-sieze Dave, was looking forward to meeting you. 

[DaveS]

I'm working on it, keeping my back moving and not giving it a chance to seize up. I'll keep an eye on things tomorrow, and it might be a matter of stopping more often on the motorway to unfreeze things. It feels like a trapped nerve very low in my back, just above the sacrum.
