Hi all
IISAC2008 is now only a week away! It starts on Thursday October 30, and goes for 3 nights. Even if you haven't registered yet, you're still welcome to make your booking now or even just turn up on any of the days. There's already over 130 registrations, and there's still plenty of space available. We'd love to see you there.
The online registration form is linked from the IISAC2008 Info page.
Make sure you keep an eye on IceInSpace for the reports, pictures and images as people stumble back in after a great weekend away.
In other news, the Astronomy 2009 Yearbook is now available to purchase. Astronomy 2009 by Quasar Astronomy is a must-have yearly almanac with tonnes of info about observing the night sky in Australia during 2009. It contains star charts and other ephemeris, dates and details of important astronomical events during the year and much more.
You can purchase your book through IceInSpace for only $23, which includes postage to you door. You'll also receive 3 free IceInSpace stickers!
Books are expected in-stock in early November. You can order yours using the online order form at the the Astronomy 2009 Order Page.
Lastly, I have created a new personal blog site and image gallery, to share my thoughts and images. It was launched in the last few days, and you can check out my new site at:

Less than 3 weeks until IISAC2008!
Posted: Fri, 10th Oct 08 by Mike Salway
Hi all
In less than 3 weeks time, I'll be enjoying the dark skies at IISAC2008! Where will you be? :)
The field maps have been uploaded, as well as the IISAC2008 Sky Lists.
If you're planning on registering, please do so ASAP so I can finalise catering, t-shirts and marquee size by mid-next-week (to give as accurate numbers as possible).
Remember to keep an eye on the forum thread for more discussion.
I hope to see you there.
