Date: 21 October 2006, Saturday
Time: From 8pm till 6am the next morning

I will probably sneak out at around 1am - 2am if the haze is not too bad. Have to pre-arrange with my babysitter and get approval first ....

Zong/Chris, since you will be onsite I will check with you on the visibility & haze condition first if you don't mind. I know this is not the spirit of SingAstronians but I really don't have the luxury of staying out all night.

Same as Lily, I do not have the luxury to stay out all night... I'll prolly buzz Chris or Zong if I can get my Nite-Out Permit approved.

Haha, I thought I am the only uninteresting wife in this forum eversince the haze attack. Looks like I am not alone! It's absolutely normal for an uninteresting wife to sneak out once in a while

!

All the best in getting your nite-out permit. I will try hard to get mine too.

Originally I had wanted to join in this Orionids @ East Coast event, but now I just confirmed another programme on this Sat/Sun. I do hope the sky is clear this Sat, but anyway guys, have fun!

There isn't such a thing as spirit of Singastronians when it concerns asking about weather conditions before going out for obs. All of us have some other work to do, this is purely an interest that we seek (albeit more aggressively than some other interests), and so it is normal to ask about the sky conditions before coming out. What more you have kids.. Don't worry just call me on that night if you can come (provided i don't fall asleep lol!!)

Wasn't very okay afterall. And the problem was, it wasn't the haze, but the clouds!!! Total cloud cover all the way. I gave up and went home at around 245am with Chris.

And so concluded a meteor shower. I hope leonids wouldn't be so bad, i'll try again. My total sightings of meteors in my so many years of astronomy so far is still less than 20... lol.
