ASWA holds two Astrocamps annually, in March and October, at Dryandra - a dark sky site near Narrogin.
The next camp is on the weekend of Fri Mar 27 and Sat Mar 28, 2009.
The camps are open to non-members, however, the dormitory accommodation is limited (it's state forest - absolutely no camping) so please email me if you are interested in coming.
Cheers,
Astrohil...:smile:

ASWA's Autumn Astrocamp for 2009 went off with a bang last weekend. Almost 50 people attended the camp at Dryandra for a superb evening of viewing on the Friday night. I hit the hay around 4am, but some folks stayed on the field to watch the sun come up! Good thing they did as after some great presentations and talks on Saturday, and solar viewing in the afternoon, it clouded over and all we were left with on Saturday night was sucker holes.

Still, a great camp was had by all.

Cheers,
