Glad you all had a good time. We did have quite the collection of lights. Hopefully Gadget got a shot of the table with all the lights on it. That would make a great group picture /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif I'm sure the neighbors thought either aliens were landing or there was a tent sale in my back yard with all the high powered lights pointed up into the sky.

Good to meet you all, and thanks to everyone who brought raffle items. We'll have to try to do this more often.

Yeah Dan, post what pix you've got. That would be fun!
I can't believe we didn't take any beamshot comparisons, but with the diversity of lighting on that table, we wouldn't have had time for anything else if we did. It was good to meet everybody, I'm definitely in for the next one...
(Providing I have time to aquire a new light or two first.)/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin07.gif

Ok, Pictures...

First, this is what you can still see after staring at lights all night /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Most of the lights arranged on the table.

And here we are all looking at the "vasoline glass" sphere that Jpeg gave Dat2zip. The glass fluoresces when the UV from that big black light hits it. We had 3 UV lights, a 20 ma Dorcy AAA mod, an Innova X5T and a (I think) a 5 watt pelican.

I'LL LEAVE IT UP TO THE ATTENDIES TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES. I'm easy to spot, I'm right behind the camera's viewfinder.

Jpeg was putting in a part that Dat2zip was kind enough to give him. I think we all chipped in by helping illuminate his work area.

Of course, the flash on my camera was, technically, a light, so I chipped in too on this next shot by turning on the flash. This photo still doesn't show all the lights that were shared.

Thanks DrJ. The camera gets the credit for the good ones. I take thge blame for the blured and dark ones. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I got so interested in the lights that I did not remember to take many pictures. I tried not to use the flash as that's kind of intrusive.

Would you believe that we faild to get a single beam shot????

We are talking about doing it again in a month or two, so keep an eye open for the next notice.

Re: Bay area get together Wed 3/03 6:30pm

Let's just say that I had more than enough light to do the job.

Thanks for the pix Dan. I had brought a camera too, but was too awed by the amazing array of illumination to even take ONE shot! Next time though I'll be sure to snap a few of you. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

The funniest part is that after all that commotion in the above picture, it turned out to be the wrong size screw... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yellowlaugh.gif

Looking forward to the next one... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/buttrock.gif

Time to meet again. Location? Day? Who's coming?

I'm pretty sure I'll be able to make most any schedule.
 
Re: Bay area get together when?

I'd be good for sometime next week, but most of the time, any day but wednesday is good for me right now... if only my kitchen weren't being redone...
 
Re: Bay area get together when?

I would say we should try to hit it when the moon is not out or at least in one of the smaller phases. That would leave either early next week, or April 18th - 21st. I am more inclined to go with april, so it will give everyone a chance to plan for it.
 
Re: Bay area get together when?

April sounds good to me. That way I have time to build some full lights to give away. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
Re: Bay area get together when?

hey guys, why don't we just shedule a night hike on a moonless night? i think that'd be a little more fun.

or maybe, do you know of any night orienteering programs?
 
Re: Bay area get together when?

It will depend on where and when, but I hope I can join you guys too on this next one.
 
Re: Bay area get together when?

It would be nice to meet you, Don. YOu do some reallly nice work. Could you bring one of your LOTC modded for dual light levels /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I'd like to check it out.
