When you say 'I've booked us in for that' do you mean all 'us' on here
if it was nearer to the Glasgow area I might have popped up and you could of bought me a few jars
Are you staying for the stargazing night event

Shrimp LOL! Such a pathetic Americanised word. We call them all Prawns. Us Aussies find it bloody annoying how they changed the word prawn into 'Shrimp' for American audiences in the movie 'Crocodile Dundee. We call ALL sizes of Prawns 'Prawns' because that's what they are, even the shrimpy (little) ones

The trip was good..concorde is some lady..wow..what a plane..45 years old and it was cutting edge the country has went to the dogs. .should have had something to take over from it..world is moving on and were going backwards. .no wonder the space race a shambles. .planet will die a death the way we treat it and were back to scratching in the dirt... well impressed by the museum great day out.. astronomy wise was as good as it gets..lacked inspiration. .dont mean it in a bad way..you could go to 100 and all would be the same..was a chore for some i thought..tech wise its years behind everyone else..bit of lunar astrophotography but done that.. The stargazing night was washed out. .no welcome when we went over..moved away to carpark to test array.. Mixed results. .no stars and crap on moon..camera utc played up ,bit of screen flucker..the box of tricks cctv dvr .monitor and built in power supply works brilliant. .ideal to use in conjunction with a scope mount video rig..snagging cameras just now..issues with scb2001 and utc control. .
