If I can even try, I wouldn't be asking that question....
By the way, is it possible to have a location map? In case I can find a friend who'll be willing to drive me up, to and fro on a later day...? Is it possible?
Thanks!
You know dat children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers...
from the current people who are going for the trip you may get to look through 8-inch newtonians, 4-inch binoculars, 3-inch refractors, 8-inch SCTs, etc...
hi klutz,
yes you may join us later in the day if you can get someone to ferry you up. personally, i do not have a detailed map of the region but i think some of the others members here might have. anyone?
