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.

And like any large group, there would be bound to be litter, but as said in the prior post, for us organisers, even though it is a dirty job, and we can't help it if people forget, we will do the cleaning up and packing miscellaneous items eventually (including used mosquito coils). It has been noted in the past that the open fields 'do not litter' practice has been adhered to as well, but sometimes we still see litter left by others not from our group, and it is something beyond our capabilities, or foreseeable circumstances.

aheem ...wonder how the police and the insurance company will treat the unathourised dimming of the street lamps should an accident happen.

1. damaged to properties
2. where lives are involved

not likely to go to the police nor call up insurance. the only thing we can do is suck thumb and pay for damages on the spot, and tell the other guy to shut up. of course this is assuming someone actually can get into an accident due to the slight dimming of the lights and not other factors.

Firstly, we tamper with our neighbour's public infrastructure using our hobby, enjoyment and convenience as an excuse. Now, we have the arrogance/cheek to suggest buying pple off should an accident happen and that they are so easily manipulated by us...

I wonder what kind of impression we portray by suggesting such things? Selfishness, arrogance, inconsiderate, lack of civic-consciousness?

But I am sure most of us are kind, considerate souls and know what is right from wrong and act appropriately...
We do it in the dark...
