Not to worry, the A2008 crew will take care of this. Just come and enjoy the event.

Update: Image contributions are officially closed.

Some updates:

The last meeting for A2008 crew members is finally over. Packing for the A2008 stuff consisting of Gallery works, posters, miscellaneous items are all done and ready. We have been getting quite a few contributions for images so far, even till now, but since the Gallery is already finished, we will continue to showcase the latest image entries in our electronic display (Andromeda Port). It's less than a week from now. We are all set to go! Now, it will be all left to how the general response and turn-out will be. Cheers!

good news! we are able to use the SMU grounds for the stargazing session on A2008 day, inclusive of overnighting if you like. This would be convenient for those wanting to stay a little later for the lunar eclipse! cheers!

BEHIND THE SCENES FOOTAGE (SNEAKS)

Here are some photos from the Design Team meetings we'd had, working on the Gallery works and packing. Oh no, the pictures have been purposely masked out. You'd gotta catch them at the event itself! [smilie=admire2.gif]

Remus,

Just to check if A2008 will be listed in SAM calendar.
I don't seem to find it.

yes, think as the days draw nearer, we are just hoping for clear skies ahead! btw, from the Logistics Crew statistics, it seems we have over 25 telescopes of all shapes and sizes being showcased! Wow! Am sure it is going to be a neat display!

To scope owners: try to keep the tripod legs free of sand and mud. won't stop ya guys from polishing your scopes though. need brasso for the mirrors? ;P

Will the public be allowed to touch the scopes or will there be a barrier around?
