Hi everyone,

David, Liuming and I will be at the Dempsey ob site to test out some scopes this saturday 12 Nov 05 from 9pm onwards, weather permitting. All are welcome to join us.

For those who don't know how to get there, please see the sticky post by Airconvent in "Events & Observation Sessions".

PS: There will be some freebies (planisphere) to be given out to those who did not get one at the last MarsWatch 05, while stock last. Priority will be considered for newbies and students.

If weather allows, there will be one small unobstructed lens, one 5 inch SCT or perhaps another 5 inch MCT.

We usually leave about 12pm~1am depending on the sky and how much we yawn. :?:

I am afraid there may not be a scope faster than f/6.0, mine is f/7.0. And also my mount is not tracking, I appreciate someone bring his Sphinx or GPDX.

sigh....as I predicted with David, after 2 nights of clouds (Friday and Sat) now the sky is very clear...always on a working night....
I can see Auriga and Pegasus and even the 2 stars of gemini. If only this had been Sat night....
