Since quite a number of people are not going, so still can take more people. Anyone are interested??

sorry guys, I also cancelled the mersing trip.

I understand that more people quitting adds more burden to the rest who confirmed the trip, finally I agreed to sponsor $ 50 for the minibus rental.

cheers

Yes. The trip is still on at the moment.

We'll just take the detour as everyone else lor... it just take longer time to reach Mersing and we just set off earlier to compensate for the time lost... there shouldn't be any safety issue.

sorry guys, I also cancelled the mersing trip.

Thanks for your S$50 sponsor...

Anyway, still hope that more people will go... more people more fun.

Have a nice day.

Hey guys, just want to ask, does anyone want to borrow a scope for the night? If so, I'll bring both my 6" and 8" newtonians.

Please let me know.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi Chris, bring both if you like! Though I think bringing only the 8" dob is good enough and perhaps just managable. We can all share our scopes. After all, apart from yours, mine(C5), Weixing(6"Newt) and Canopus(C5), there is also Joo Beng(ED100) & Thiam Wah(C11), and Matthew(?) & Gavin(LX-90). Maybe Airconvent may join us in the evening?

Hi,

Not many la... I'll be using my scope for imaging... hee hee =P Bring your 8" Dob la, then we can see how bad/good a china mirror really is by comparing to the CZ mirror =P

I'll be taking MRT with my "Full Battle Order" (GP mount + 6" F5 Newtonian OTA + Camera + portable chair + etc).

Have a nice day.
