Tuesday Update 29 October 2024
This week’s been a bit quieter on the build front as Brendan and the team dived into some much-needed admin work (plus a bit of life admin that’s been waiting in the wings). With our main focus on getting delayed orders shipped out, we’re thrilled that many of you have started receiving your deliveries! We’re also excited to head back out to the Pankee Observatory this weekend. With summer heat making its return here in Perth (hello, mid-30s °C / 90s °F for our US friends), it’s the perfect time to be back in the field. Thanks for sticking with us—bring on the stargazing season! 🌌✨
Tuesday Update 22 October 2024
What a weekend it’s been! We headed out to Pankee for some serious filming, and while the scenery was stunning, the flies were out in full force! 😅 They gave us absolute hell, but we pushed through and captured some fantastic content. By the end of the day, we were all a bit delirious from the heat and constant swatting, but it was totally worth it. We can't wait to share what we've been working on—it's going to be something special! Update for our pre-order gang, your packages are finally on their way, with local courier companies within your region! 🎉 Each shipment has been divided into 3 separate packages, so don’t worry if they don’t all arrive at once—everything’s coming to you soon, and we’re so excited for you to get your hands on them. The Octans and Phoenix observatories are nearly home! And as summer approaches, we’re gearing up for Expo season! First up is Astrofest, where we’ll be showcasing all our gear. Then, of course, we’re already planning ahead for the big one: NEAF 2025! 🚀 Big things are happening here at Starpoint, and we couldn’t be more pumped for what’s ahead. Thank you for all your support—we're just getting started! 🌌✨
Tuesday Update 15 October 2024
This week’s been a real celebration for us here at Starpoint Australis! 🎉 We’re thrilled the tents are officially on their way to our amazing pre-order crew! It’s a milestone we’ve all been working so hard for, and we can’t wait for them to arrive at your doorsteps. Huge thank you to everyone for your patience and support! Brendan’s also been hard at work on the SP3 production line, boosting up our BETA testing group to really iron out the last few bugs. Progress is moving smoothly, and we’re excited for what’s ahead with these focusers! On top of that, we’re preparing for an exciting project with a local school. We’ll be installing a beast of a telescope, and Brendan can’t wait to share his love for astronomy and give back to the community by inspiring the next generation of stargazers. Big milestones, big moves—onward and upward!
THEY ARE ON THE WAY!
🎉 What a huge milestone we’ve finally achieved! Our stock is officially on its way to you all! 🚀 We’ve emailed everyone their tracking numbers, so you can follow it right to your door. We want to take this time to thank you all for your encouraging and supportive words—it truly means the world to Dan, Jess, and myself. 🙏 Thanks again for sticking with us on this journey! ✨
