Big or small, the best scopes are the one which you would use the most often. :)

You are most welcomed! Unless the sky is amazingly clear for the next 2 nights, our next sidewalk session will be at open space outside Toa Payoh Public Library this coming Good Friday. More info: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=11853

As Gary always says.... it may not be perfect, but its good enough!
I have to concur with him. Waiting for perfect nights often means wasted opportunities. I should think the event will be on excepting inclement weather :)
