Thanks @Anthony Tan ! you are right, have a bonfire on the sand is not allowed in most places anymore, we will need to have a small firepit.

I have 2 small collapsible firepits I'll bring them.

I agree with Anthony, it might be crowded at the sides of the dirt track given its accessibility, what do u think @Frederic, do we deflate and move a bit deeper in the desert to avoid congestion and noise?

2WDs can park by the side and get in the cars with the rest of us to the camping spot.

I will check when i arrive. The last thing i want is cars getting stuck in the dunes (we do that every week 🤣)

I made a small Whatsapp Group with the members. Do you have Whatsapp ? Can you send your mobile number ?

Thanks a lot @Frederic for the amazing star gazing and camping night.

Thank you all for joining ! We had a relaxing night and the next time we will try to:

- Make it on a Saturday.

- Arrive in daylight, deflate and go about 1hr inside of the desert.

- Have even more fun

Please share your photo's here in the drive post, and tell us what gear + setting you have used. I took a few with my Canon 5D Mk2, Samyang 14mm f2.8, on ISO3200 and 30 seconds shutter time. In one photos I have like a star trailing effect but have no idea how that happened.

Many thanks to @Frederic for letting me share my pic here even though I was unable to join (I'd mixed up the days, thinking we were going to meet on Saturday and already had camping and shooting plans for Friday night). I'm glad we all got to see the beauty though; best time of year to look up 🤩😍!
