Hi weixing,
Thanks for the organising of those in the mini-van. My wife (Sherry) and me confirmed going. The portable scopes (80mm and 66mm) with 2 light-weight Feisol CT-3401 carbon-fibre tripods are confirmed too. We will also be bringing 2 binoculars, a laser-pointer, a groundsheet and 2 sleeping bags. Just let us know when and where to meet when all are ready. I have made bold our names (listed in 4 & 5).

One more car will take the rest, and mini van is not needed.
What happen to Weixing, how is he getting there?
I just return from ICT yesterday... too many work need to be clear by next Saturday, so I'm afraid I don't have the time to go.... hate to miss the big scope gathering...
Have a nice day.

Alamak! Transport situation looks tight and losing cost-effectiveness... hope it won't end up with the very few of us to share the van. It's fast making me think twice about going... will confirm by tonight about our (wife and me) decision.
