Dear fellow astronomers,

Due to a slight change of event, there will be [glow=red]NO[/glow]overnight observation on the 12 and 13 of Nov. Observation time will start at 8pm and end at 10pm sharp.

fizzy123 wrote:Wat briefing is it? Regarding wat issue?

Before the observation starts we need to confirm the attendance of the volunteers and their scopes. A hand out on the current objects to see in the sky will also be given to you so that it'll be easier to navigate the sky.

Currently these are the following response:

Chrisyeo - ETX90 and ATM 6inch Dob
Arief - C8 on vixen SP mount
NPAC - 2x C8 (pending)
Me - C5 on Manfrotto 190 tripod and 410 head

I certainly hope this list will grow much longer in time to come. So please guys, bring out your big guns!

Is it possible to set up the Singastro 16.1" ATM scope at this event? I heard it's collecting dust now :oops:

Hi guys, great to see more people responding. Just a gentle reminder to leave your contact number and which night you'll be volunteering.

I think our Sun is being neglected......we only have one scope coming down for solar observation(with a H-Alpha filter!). So c'mon guys....a tan would also be nice.... 8)

Sure why not? The more the merrier, the bigger the better.

Yeah, hope to see all the exotic stuff appearing in the festival !! Ultimately, astronomy is about sharing, isn't it!

And fret not about transportation, i believe there's a SADA (SingAstro Drivers Association) going on!!
