Hi all.

Just joined the forums. Will be at the NLO on 15/9 for the day course and hopefully, weather permitting, the evening too. This will be my first visit and hopefully the first of many. I have always had an interest in the skies but never found the time to turn that interest into something more than just that.

Really lookng forward to Saturday.

Hi Bryan.
I did the course earlier in the year, it's a great introduction by the chaps above.
Hide your wallet after though, the boxes will start arriving at your door very soon :-)

Whats happening on Friday then? Would that be any different to coming back on the Saturday Evening.

What sort of time would it be on Friday?

Friday evening is our members evening for imagers and observers.
We generally have a coffee, a chat, with a 30 minute talk about something astronomical, and if the weather is good we get out our scopes and do some imaging and observing. We start to arrive around 6-7pm generally but some will be there earlier because they haven't got anything better to do on a Friday :o)

Bryan, the main difference will be that more of the members will be there . If clear there will be quite a few private scopes and imaging set ups to drool over and if lucky have a peep through. Plenty of chat and tea/coffee.
Don't forget to bring a torch (red if possible) and warm clothing.

Sounds good. As long as you are okay with me popping in without being a member.
