Re: Earth hour Astronomy session at Bishan Park
Thanks to Davegn for organising the event and all those came with or without telescopes! Earlier in that evening, saw the satellite flyby through Orion's belt through the C6 and ST80. Davegn managed to track it for a few good seconds manually in his AZ mount.
Crowd had fun observing Jupiter, Moon, Saturn and Star clusters. Special guest star of the evening was a C8 on a wooden surveyor tripod. Thanks to the owner for supporting the event and our previous sidewalks there too.
Here's a pic of that event:
