may i come?

Sorry for the lack of more details in the first post but as per all my previous library talks, they are free and no pre-registration required. So you and your family and friends are most welcomed!

Weather permitting, we will be bringing our dobsonian telescope for live stargazing on that same evening. You don't need to bring your telescope along if it's not convenient to do so. Just come free and easy, share you stargazing experiences with the crowd, catch up with your new stargazing friends and have fun learning how to manually track Saturn at 500x.

Thanks to all who came for the talk, especially the telescope volunteers and helpers!

Thanks to Toa Payoh Public Library for organising it and recently upgraded to the state-of-the-art projector and AV system in their Programme Zone.

Another full house crowd, another clear night for observing Moon and Saturn. We had great fun interacting with the crowd and letting them observe through the 10" dob, 5" LOMO MCT and the monster C14.

A great rehearsal for the SAFRA Jurong Stargazing event this coming Saturday!
