Yes it did happen, but unfornately the clouds (and RAIN) followed us too... on the second night we did managed to catch fleeting moments of Orion, Pleiades, and Auriga. But the company of astro friends were good, lots of catching up, playing with the cats, astro chatting, etc.

There's actually another Chalet in Punggai (I went to it the last time in error) - Why not try to see if it has space left? I think its called "Punggai Chalet") I remember quite a few malay famiiles there with makeshift BBQs in the courtyard and its about 100-200m down the road
