East Coast Park Obs session - 21/6/2014

Post by antares2063 »

Hi all,

Weather permitting, I will be setting up my scope to observe at the usual ECP spot (medium sized grass patch between Area D1 and Area C4). Nearest "underpass" is the Victoria JC overhead bridge. As its the new moon and it falls on a weekend, I dont wish to pass up this opportunity.

Date: 8th june 2013

Attached is the photo of the place , all are welcomed with or without gear. I will be there at 745pm onwards till around 1130pm. My hp number is 91twoeight5six82

And this is how the field looks in daytime (my back is facing towards the VJC bridge)

Regards,
