Post by **zong** » Wed Jul 28, 2004 10:27 pm

I cannot really help in this because of my results(quite bad), and so I have to devote more time to studying(which sucks:(). However if the day you're holding the fest I'm free, I can pop in and help. No guarantee though. Sorry for my being in the NATO committee.

Had contacted Remus yesterday and he said he will be helping out. Just let him know the time of the meeting when it is decided.

Thought Singastro has got more than 250 registered members.
We don't even reach 4%.

While waiting for more volunteers, can we have some suggestions to locations for the event?

I suggest SP (assuming we can get the permission from the admin and help from the SP astro group).

We can make use of the 'Poll' feature of the website to get responses to the location and dates. If it is an over-nite event, the later 2 dates with little or no moon would be preferable. Will it clash with exams for the poly people?

Can some of the poly people chime in with remarks, please? If it does not clash with the exams, having it at SP will help to give more exposure to SP and the astro club.

Does anyone know of any special happenings in June?

Oops, just check and found out that i'm the only active 'spastroians' down here. Thanks for showing such an interest in SP! I'll get in touch with the current batch of committees and will definitely get back to you guys here.

And

the proposed dates do not crash with our exams, instead, its the start of a new academic year (the poly system now starts at december, so we'll spend christmas in the school

).

That's all for now.

Regards,
Sam

Hi,

Proposed Dates:-
1. 4-5 Dec 2004 (3/4 waxing moon)
2. 11-12 Dec 2004 (no moon)
3. 17-18 Dec 2004 (1/2 waning moon)

You got the moon phase name wrong...

It should be:
1. 4-5 Dec 2004 (1/2 waning moon)
2. 11-12 Dec 2004 (no moon)
3. 17-18 Dec 2004 (1/2 waxing moon)

Anyway, I think 17-18 Dec 2004 is a good date... If the weather is good, we still can see some DSO under a 1/2 waxing moon. But if the weather is not that good (**touch wood**), at least we still can show case the moon.

Have a nice day.
