Close-up of my "new" C5.
There was another white C5 there plus Hannah's 127Mak but too bad except for a fleeting glance at Jupiter between the clouds, I could not do any real comparison. The guy with the moustache (driver) does look abit like Wira, eh?

Woei Jiin having very, very, very serious doubts as to whether I can take a really good photo of her....here she is in a cheeky mood....just before the clouds wipe it all away... :-)

hey richard! nice photos taken..

the 2nd night was the best outta the 3 nights we spent there.. sadly, high hopes placed on the last night ( apparently, the skies were super blue in the afternoon) were crashed.. it was all cloudy and for short periods, we managed to view the southern region as well as a glimpse of Ursa Major and some north-west regions..

Milky way was lovely on the 2nd night..

But the skies could have been better.. but the weather just love to play tricks on us.. ha!

Annyways, it is not kunloong in the picture taken with weicong, it is weixiong! And thats Michael Mathews, the younger twin.. heh

Cheers!

It's been 3 years since i last tasted mersing starlight. So it's pretty disappointing the skies were cloudy most of the time from an astronomer's point of view. :bangwall:
But hey it was great fun waddling in the sea and talking crap with you guys! Let's hope our next trip will have better skies. And not forgetting the "worm hunting competition"......

Clear skies
