Night and I mean Night shoot

**Roosta** · 20-05-2011, 1:16am

Any body keen to go and shot the stars and the Planets?

I know it's late or early notice, but I have only a short time back and was thinking of this Sunday night 22Nd.

With some of the Planets playing their part, I feel it's a great chance.

Any one ?

Well if I was over there I'd love to Roosta. I tried to upload a Stellarium screendump for you but as usual the forum just gives me a red !.

Pre dawn in the east Mars, Venus and Mercury will be tightly grouped with Jupiter up above them, it's a nice conjunction for Sunday. Visible for you from about 5.15 am. If you can get a good foreground interest object it will look terrific.

I might be up for it. Where are you thinking? I was supposed to be in Cervantes this weekend but it got postponed so I need to do something different

Actually, I haven't got your number, I'll drop you a pm.
Hope the new job is going well?

Will try to see what the weather is up to, but I was thinking more of early evening rather than very early morning. We need somewhere with out to much ambient light and a good access to the south celestial pole region, or milky way - southern x.

what do you guys think?

**13ulletz** · 20-05-2011, 11:29am

Sounds good. Where do you want to go?

**Samphire** · 20-05-2011, 6:25pm

I'd love to go it would be a great learning experience.

**peterking** · 20-05-2011, 10:11pm

Serpentine Dam would give you that plus not too much light pollution.

hey - what time are you thinking? Thinking I might be able to do a last minute 'oh seeing as the kids in bed and all we're doing is watching tv...." (meanwhile having packed bag and charged battery).....

**Milbs1** · 22-05-2011, 1:30pm

I'm out. Have a badly constipated 2yo that is miserable and wont sleep. A 3.30am start to the day so I will need an early night

Sorry guys, looks like the clouds are rolling in thick and fast. Might try to plan something a little more favourable at a latter date.

**Wayno** · 26-05-2011, 6:50am

Keep me posted for any rescheduling...I might be in town.
