Anyway, for those member who are not bringing any scope, please help out the scope owner in manning their scope, so that the owner can took some rest.

Have a nice day.

Hi,
I was thinking may be we can setup one or two station for imaging purpose... allow public to took some simple one shot image of Moon and Jupiter using their own DSLR or may be we use our own camera and the public bring the SD/CF Card.

I think this will attract more people.

Have a nice day.

Can anyone give latest updates on the sky condition over at the observation site? Have the clouds cleared?

Sky condition from Kembangan (not too far from Bedok Reservoir) about 50% cloud cover. mainly over Northern side. East South and West a little better.
