Pre-report:Font Hill Astronomy Camp Oct 17th 2025. Attend/Arrive in 'Haste, Repent at Leisure!'

What's a contented and dozing dog(Hi everyone meet Winnie a 6 year old Bulldog Boxer Cross) to do in connection with Astro Camp?

Well she was a little restless and whiny, like many of her breed,  and a short walk will often settle her, successfully today at least.   

For myself just a bit of fresh air and a breather from the flurry of packing clothes, food and importantly for the subject of this post equipment.

Packed?!?!?! 12 Inch Meade Light bridge, Vale RIP Meade if course.

Well maybe?  NOT!!! entirely.

Thanks Winnie,  you are what you are and the whole world loves you,  especially the Vetinary and Orthopaedic Team we spent $12000 with to mend her broken leg earlier this year.

The walk sufficiently cleared my brain to remember to grab the secondary mirror and Eyepiece holder, Focuser etc.

Here's the 'beast setup a week or so ago at the Mount Pleasant Radio Observatory, Cambridge Tasmania.

So lucky to have the great Telescope and Winnie to help with the packing.

Next Post at Font Hill, Lemont, near Oatlands, Tasmania.
