Re: 15 inch dob observing at Science Centre tonight 10 Feb
Good to hear from you Gary!
On Weds night 8 Feb 2012, the 15" dob was at Admiralty Gardens. Jinpeng, Sam and the rest had a good look at Jupiter though the sky condition was not optimal.
Tonight's sky seems more promising, and I will be testing/comparing some planetary eyepieces as well...Zeiss Abbe Ortho etc, so hopefully we get to observe more planetary details.
Do join us if you are free.
