Hi all,

We are meeting up at 8pm at Tanah Merah Mrt on Friday (13th).

But looking at the current weather and how it has been for the past 2 weeks we are highly skeptical as to whether we will be having the observation at all or not..

So I will be posting again on friday late afternoon ard 1500 or 1600hrs regarding the confirmation.

Alternatively you can also sms/call me before coming down..
My HP: 98801922

Please bring along insect repellants, water and extra clothing incase it gets cold out there.. Also if you have tents or scopes you are welcome to bring them along. =)

Regards
Arjun

Hi all,

The Ubin Outing has been unfortunately postponed indefinitely. The Meteorological Services's Website shows that there will be further showers on friday and in fact there will be thunderstorms on saturday and sunday. Seems like the showers are getting heavier during the weekend.

This is horrible weather man.. The sky was momentarily very clear over here at CCK at about 2100hrs.. But now the clouds have already set in.. Goodness.. How long more before flooding starts in Singapore?!

Hi,

this evening' news reported that skies will clear by this weekend...

Really??

Anyway, after a few days of basically continuous raining, I also think that it is possible that this few night might have one or two clear night.... still waiting to test my new astrophotography setup and my dewshield heater.

Have a nice day.

It's off topics...

Have a nice day.

PS: It still the original design... will test it first before changing anything.

Arjun,
I'm the guy who brought my C5 along during the Redang trip.. and yah.. apart from NTU's C8 and 6 inch Newtonian I'm the only guy who brought a scope along. I also stayed in the same room as you during that trip.
