Very nice photos there mathew

Thanks for posting those Matthew, wish I'd taken my camera now!

Sorry I missed it, it looks like I would have enjoyed it!

I certainly enjoyed it seanie! The talks were top class! Along with the Astrophotography workshop which, unfortunately i missed , I was outside buying the scope! Lucie green was fantastic! I really have a newfound budding interest in solar observing and i got a Thousand Oaks filter with the scope! Dr. Aaron Golden was highly entertaining and gave a vivid talk! For Dr. Butlers talk i was on camera duty and was behind him at our stand so i didnt get his talk! And Prof. Chris Dainty's talk on adaptive optics was very Informative! He spoke of adaptive optics and how there used today and what they would cost to a company!

After our Gala dinner was eaten we were privy to an 'After-Dinner' talk on his trip to America for the Riverside Ster Party! It really was a fabulous talk and very enjoyable! He had some Mind-Blowing images of the ladscape!

Then there was a quiz after that was highly fixed! Four of the most knowledgable amateur astronomers on one table and the rest were assorted! :roll:

All in all it was a fantastic day!
P.s i thoroughly enjoyed manning the stand! Thanks for not stealing ALL the freebies for your own clubs!
I spotted some of ye! :evil: ..
