Alright, this is for sharing of your observation experience. Or, if you are arranging gatherings, star-gazing expeditions or just want some company to go observing together, you can shout it out here.

Mersing 19-20 May. Drivers and passengers wanted.

Post by acc »

Some of us are planning a trip to Mersing next month from 19-20 May (Sat-Sun).

I am starting this thread to try to "hook up" drivers and passengers so that more may get a chance to experience the dark skies of mersing. Please indicate your interest, the equipment that you are bringing and state whether you are driving or not. To make this win-win for driver and passenger, I suggest that the passenger(s) pay for topping up of petrol and, for safety reasons after a tiring nite of observing, stay awake to keep the driver company on the way back... :mrgreen: :) If you are driving and have never been to Mersing, let me know too so that I can get a seasoned Mersing Explorer to be in your car.

cheers

The trip is next week. Any more drivers and passengers? Star-gazing in Mersing is so much more rewarding than doing it in Sg so if you have not been to a dark-sky site before, do give it a serious thought. Star-gazing is not an armchair hobby or something you can do at the last-minute on a wimp. You gotta make an effort to go to a dark-sky site to appreciate the night sky. :)
