National Day Impromtu OB Session?(Late night?)

Post by questionmak »

Hello,

Weather seems to have taken a good turn suddenly. Am wondering if there's anyone here who may be holding a last min ob session if the weather holds? Considering it's a Sat, maybe even a late night one?

Time to take advantage of the nation's good fortune with the weather on it's birthday and view some real stars instead of those on the flag?: [smilie=admire.gif]

Cheers,

?Mak

Haha, every year the weather is good on National Day without fail. Even if there's a slight rain before the NDP, it will not rain when the NDP starts. Well, I can always go for an ob session. Let me know if anyone is organising one tonight.

Lol, seems like the clouds are blanketing the whole night sky tonight. I was able to catch a glimpse of the orange setting moon in the south-west direction just 20 minutes ago, and for just a minute, then it got covered by the clouds again. And Jupiter was also in view, high above the horizon, but blanketed by the clouds again. ):
