Hi
Finally managed to download the photos.
Must say it was a good singastro gathering but in terms of public catchment, it was not as successful. The whole evening attracted 2 couples, 1 man with a dog and my friend, so I guess the venue is not so suitable if we want to catch the public.
Quite a few people were there though.
Richard Low (rlow), Ian, Zong, Kelvin (cataclysm), Fenglin, Liu Ming, weixing, "sandeep" (I think), atreya. Most have their grab and go set up with the C5s and smaller refractors hogging the limelight. The only exception is Kelvin's 8" Newtonian which gave us a good view of Saturn. Apart from the moon managed to catch a few open clusters including M7 as well as the Ring Nebula.
Ian and his "double-whammy"
Kelvin and his 8" Newt in a "missile launcher" setup
Zong helping out.

Zong playing with Fenglin's C5 on Vixen mini-portamount. This reminds me of Chee Chien's "meat grinder" ETX90 haha
