Hi Eddie. Welcome to Singastro! A few questions if you don't mind:
1. What are the details of the organisation/school that is organising this trip?
2. As a non-astrophotographer, can I (or anyone else) join this trip and bring along their telescopes as a participant/volunteer? If yes, roughly how much we have to pay for accomodation and transport? Of course, we will be sharing the views of our telescopes with all other participants.
Merry Xmas!!

Hi Eddie. Thanks for the offer. RM688 sounds good!
Btw, you may be interested to get hold of a copy of the January 2011 edition of Astronomy (magazine). There is a wonderful 6-page article by world famous astrophotographer Michael Covington titled "Shoot the sky without a telescope" - capture great pictures using just a camera on a tripod.
