...bazooka?

It's just stopped raining here in the west. If the weather clears, maybe I'll take a break from my woodworking and drop by later.

Paradoxically, the 11" is easier to transport and setup than the 6" scope.

Hi Friends. It is still overcast here at Toa Payoh. Since I stay here, I can start observing at any time tonight if and when the sky turns clear.

If any telescope volunteer cannot make it, you may post a reply here so the rest can decide for themselves if they want to come or not.

E.g. As seen in the previous post by James, if after 9pm the sky is still cloudy, he will not be attending.

I will be updating the weather here in the meantime if there is improvement. :)

I've seen your 11" during one of the punggai trip.... And the view is great......

Gary will update us the weather condition in this forum, even till 9pm....

I'll have to pull out of bringing my scope as my wife needs the maid at home to clear some stuff so I can't babysit both a scope and the baby at the same time.
Still, if you guys are going to be there I'll try to drop by with my bigger one :)

6:04 pm -- Some thin narrow streaks of very light blue sky in between clouds. East side clearing up tiny bit very slowly.
