15" ZOC dob : DIY Project

Wanna make a scope? Or better still, grind a mirror yourself. Or, you have some good tips in making a really useful accessory? This is the place to show what your hands can do...

There was quite a crowd last night, probably because of the guest speaker.

We set up the 15" dob as usual, and the public commented how come there was such a long queue for the scope upstairs, and hardly many people in line for this dob which gave a better view :)

The sky wasn't clear but the public managed to see Saturn, NGC 6441 globular cluster, and Epsilon Lyrae, the Double-Double cleanly split into it's four components with dark space in-between. We were also glad to have the company of Dr Cheong, Ian and Gary to join us.

We would have love to drop by ECP after that, but we need to take an early rest for our Sedili Besar trip today. There's at least five person heading there.
