Gauging your interest...
Added 2019-01-08 17:36:32 +0000 UTCHey everyone! So.... I have an opportunity to lead an "astrotour" to Hawaii in October. It'd be a week long trip and we'd do star gazing and astrophotography and just hang out. I haven't officially signed up to host it yet, but would you have any interest in attending? I believe it'd a few thousand, I don't know the price yet, but I wanted to see if this is at all of interest to anyone!

Would be awesome!

2019-01-29 03:12:24 +0000 UTCGlad I'm not the only one in this situation. Really cool idea though.
2019-01-24 20:21:51 +0000 UTCThat sounds like an amazing opportunity. As someone who loves astronomy and astrophotography, I would love to go. However, as a college student by winter and intern by summer, I would likely have neither time nor financing. I think you should do it- the people who are able to go would really appreciate the experience.
2019-01-21 02:27:51 +0000 UTCIยดd love it but Patagonia is kind of too far away righo now! Sorry!
2019-01-19 21:29:44 +0000 UTCIf only I could make the trip! Any travel grants? :-)

2019-01-15 03:28:45 +0000 UTCIf I didnโt have a vacation freeze in October, Iโd love to go. What fun!!
2019-01-12 04:02:20 +0000 UTCMy first Patreon ever! You da man!
2019-01-11 16:13:54 +0000 UTCInterested, keep me updated.
2019-01-11 01:06:54 +0000 UTCThat sounds amazing! If I can gather the funds for it I would definitely be up for it. Great idea!
2019-01-10 11:50:16 +0000 UTCSorry, not my cup of tea. But if you ever plan a trip to Florida when there's a good chance of seeing a launch (especially SpaceX), I would love to join you!
2019-01-09 23:26:28 +0000 UTCSounds like a good idea ... perhaps a collaboration with some others.... however probably not for me in the near term. Please remember there are other global patreons so meeting up on site may be an idea for some.
2019-01-09 20:54:09 +0000 UTCActually the transport should be included based on my research into the other astrotours that people like Fraser Cain, Dr. Paul Matt Sutter, and Dr. Pamela Gay host. We should just end up paying a down psyment, and then the full price which should include food, travel, a room to stay in, etc.

2019-01-09 20:17:44 +0000 UTCProbably a little over 3k based on the cost of the other astrotours! :>
Zachary Fluke
2019-01-09 20:15:27 +0000 UTCIt shouldn't end up being over 4 thousand all things considered. At least that's what the other astrotours have been lol. Maybe around like 3.5k ๐ค
Zachary Fluke
2019-01-09 20:14:53 +0000 UTCPlus I've never been to Hawaii and it's been a personal goal of mine to visit and stargaze there before I turn 25 in a lil over 4 years. Would love the opportunity to meet and hang with you, Tim!
Zachary Fluke
2019-01-09 20:13:50 +0000 UTCI'm seriously planning and saving up for choosing one of the astrotours to do. I'd be thrilled to go with you, man!
Zachary Fluke
2019-01-09 20:12:23 +0000 UTCI would love to get more details about this, I'm interested, depending if the price tag is a couple of thousands and not several thousands :)
2019-01-09 16:48:56 +0000 UTCSounds like fun...all depends on cost.
2019-01-09 14:01:58 +0000 UTCOne week is too long, but if it's possible to stop by for a day or two, I'd definitely come.

2019-01-09 10:57:35 +0000 UTCI'm interested, I have a blackout period at the beginning on October, so maybe if it were at the end of October.

2019-01-09 04:34:14 +0000 UTCSuper interested. Keep us informed!
M0rsla
2019-01-09 01:43:10 +0000 UTCCloser to $1k or $2k? $3k?
2019-01-08 23:04:44 +0000 UTCSuper interested :) Super unable to afford it though :( You should totally do it though; would be a blast!
2019-01-08 21:43:46 +0000 UTCWish I had the bucks!
Shelly Gold
2019-01-08 21:42:02 +0000 UTCNot in the cards for us right now, but it sounds really cool. I assume the 'few thousand' would not include transport to Hawaii, which is not cheap. Would there be anything location specific, like a tour at Keck?
Reed Bowman
2019-01-08 21:27:27 +0000 UTCIn!
Richard Campbell
2019-01-08 19:48:23 +0000 UTCI'm interested! Would love more details when possible!
2019-01-08 19:31:39 +0000 UTCWould love to, but my girlfriend and I are going to New York City and Boston this September
2019-01-08 19:20:47 +0000 UTCDefinitely sounds interesting to me! Would this be affiliated with Paul Sutter/astrotours.co? I've been considering going on one of those already.
2019-01-08 19:05:59 +0000 UTCSounds interesting. Any more details?
2019-01-08 18:30:26 +0000 UTCPosolutely! It would be nice, if you could, get the dates ASAP so we can look for inexpensive tickets ๐ค

2019-01-08 18:26:30 +0000 UTCI've got some plans for August that will likely drain my savings account a bit, but I'm more than interested if this becomes a regular thing
2019-01-08 18:21:13 +0000 UTCI would definately be interested.
2019-01-08 18:11:47 +0000 UTCI would be interested
2019-01-08 18:10:36 +0000 UTCI would do it assuming I can save a few bucks for the trip, otherwise hell yeah!

2019-01-08 18:07:32 +0000 UTCDoesn't matter where you're FROM just as long as you can get your butt to Hawaii :)

2019-01-08 18:00:25 +0000 UTCJust to verify: would it be open to attendees from anywhere in the world?
2019-01-08 17:57:36 +0000 UTCSounds like a great time but too rich for my blood.
2019-01-08 17:55:17 +0000 UTCI would be interested. Don't have any astrophotography experience and just and an older Canon EOS Digital camera, so not sure if that is a show stopper. Also any chance of a scuba dive during trip ;)
2019-01-08 17:51:20 +0000 UTCSounds like fun! My wife is really into photography so she would probably consider it. Not sure we could get away for a week with our 2 kids though...:( Maybe when they get older...
2019-01-08 17:45:23 +0000 UTCWould you have a link for more info such as location and other items? This sound like fun. So far count me in!
2019-01-08 17:41:39 +0000 UTCIt would be amazing! Love stargazing. Really want to get into astrophotography.
2019-01-08 17:40:29 +0000 UTCIf I wasnโt in college and actually had time to leave for a week then definitely. I may know some others who would be interested though, I will talk to them.
2019-01-08 17:40:12 +0000 UTCVery interested, but pricing would be a factor along with time off.
2019-01-08 17:39:43 +0000 UTCWould I fit in your luggage? I don't weigh much...
2019-01-08 17:38:51 +0000 UTCI would LOVE to but not able to afford it at the moment. I would love to do that at some point though.
2019-01-08 17:38:28 +0000 UTCSounds fun, just depends on the price!
Trevor Mahlmann
2019-01-08 17:37:50 +0000 UTCWow, I would love to, but I canโt swing that kind of dough at this point.

2019-01-08 17:37:42 +0000 UTCI would love to, yet I canโt afford to travel ๐
