Ok, I'll be there with the Pronto :D

It's been some time since I last did any serious observing anyway. I'm especially looking forward to meeting magnificient Saturn once again during the pre dawn hours since it's loooooong absence from our evening skies.

Throughout the night, you can observe Mars if you haven't had enough of it yet :lol: .

But at around 3 or 4 am in the morning, you should be able to see a rising Saturn again after it's looooooong absence from our evening skies 8) , then if the skies still remain clear over the East at around 6am, you may be able to see a bit of Jupiter.

I guess east side is too far away... That the bad thing about East side.

I will be having an overnight observing session this coming Tuesday (Oct 21)
Location: Bedok reservoir (opp. Blk 740 & 742A, the same location as Mars Watch 2)
Time: 9pm till next morning
Events: Orionids in the pre-dawn hours and of course DSO's if skies are good
Sorry for a bit of last minute, but looking at the satellite photo, a clear patch of sky may be heading towards us for the next few days.
Any takers? Just reply to this or can call 91373921
Fingers crossed

Hi Junwei,
Had not realised Antares2063 was you until I saw the pic...I though Antares was also that other guy that had some problems with astro-science?
Anyway, we had not had clear skies in 5 mths already! I very much doubt it would clear but do give us your "weather" reports
If sky good, can join in for a while but cannot stay too late as working day...sigh...perhaps CSN Chief may activate everyone?
