Kelling Heath Star Party 2023

This is a video of our trip away to Kelling Heath star party, the weather was beautiful to start with but it soon changed. We still had a great time & even managed to be out most of Friday night until the early hours of Saturday. Some items were bought I'm ashamed to say so apologies for the clouds.

So it was you that brought the rain from the south west, great vlog and excellent images, well done both of you. Hopefully see you next year, keep in touch.

Shhhhh it wasn't my fault honest, booked for next year so lets hope we get some better weather.
Clear skies!!

Looked like a great time despite the soggy ground. Lovely images and looks like a great new little scope and accessories! CS

Thanks Jason haven't been around for a while so catching up a bit. Glenn Astrobloke done a video of the same scope a little while back & when I saw the price of it at Kelling I couldn't refuse.

Hey Tich, nice vlog coverage and wow those images!

[@dumpydalekobservatory]

Thanks Chris I'm surprised they didn't get you there on the Flo stand lol.

[@whyf16uy]

Well it looks like you made the best of it. And eventually some pretty pictures to boot.

[@dumpydalekobservatory]

Thanks it was a strange week starting off with lovely sunshine then went soggy & cold, at least we managed one night out though.

[@AstroSoundscape]

Those first shots in the rain reminded me of camping as a kid lol 😂 You got some lovely looking images particularly liked nickys dark neb shot there. Well done showing such shopping restraint 😂.
Clear skies pal :)

I'm so weak I couldn't help myself 🤣

Nice video Tich. Shame about the weather but looks like you enjoyed yourselves anyway. Great images for short integration times. Clear skies bud

[@dumpydalekobservatory]

Thanks mate yeah we love it there so here's hoping for clearer skies next year lol.

[@LogansAstro]

Shame about the weather but you both came away with very nice images. And congrats on the new scope - that's gotta help ease the pain of all the clouds and rain.

[@dumpydalekobservatory]

Thanks Logan the scope is now mounted on top of the RASA with a camera & looks tiny lol, when I'll get round to getting a first light in anyone's guess due to the poor weather, fingers crossed it'll be soon though.

[@Astro_Shed]

Great Video, looks like you had a good time, even though the weather could have been better….👍🏻

[@dumpydalekobservatory]

We got one night out so I guess we can't complain to much lol

[@steveibbotson1214]

The rain gods turned up at Kelling again.
Pity you did not get more clear skies.

[@dumpydalekobservatory]

Yeah the week started out glorious but it were pretty short lived, at least we had one really good night though.
