Fantastic weekend and many thanks to Shannonside for making my first SP an experience I'll never forget!
It was great to meet all you guys and even more importantly, to meet all you gals!! Deirdre, Bernie and Leanne, youze are stars!!
Thanks to all who let me loose on their scopes (and ladders!)
There was one man who belonged to SAC, he talked for me for ages on Friday night, telling me the history of the Leviathan and the Parsons family and he was a joy to listen to.
I only know his first name, Conn, his name wasn't familiar from the IFAS boards so can one of the SAC crew pass on my thanks to him!
Also I would like to say Seanie was a joy! Absolutely gem! Meeting him in the dark for the first time was a bit of a shock but I think he recovered! (where's my red eye! You promised Cyclops!!!)
I'll definitely be back! As Bernie said, it's an addiction!!! Roll on Cosmos!

Hi Mia, that guy is Conn Buckley, he's our PRO.
He posts here occasionally but I'll be sure to pass it on to him for you.

I really wanted to have a good chat with you guys and gals from EAAS as you haven't been down before, but time and extreme tiredness got in the way, until next time.

Carrying around my 20" obsession is going to kill me,
but what a way to go.

It's called a "design feature" lads. Ensures collimation doesn't come loose.I am sure Dave Lillis has recovered the use of his hands after collimation
