Hi,
Someone suggested to me that may be we can have a SingAstro gathering cum Sidewalk Astronomy at the end of this month (and year)... may be on the 26 Dec (Saturday)... the day after Christmas.
I think it's a good idea since it's been quite a long time from the last gathering... Anyone had any ideas and suggestion??
Have a nice day.

No lah... He meant to glue glitter dust all over the objective so we get to see more stars!

... and add some cotton wool around the objective lens for the 'snow' effect....
but seriously, I can bring a nice 'old' modified scope which you guys can decorate... but kindly leave the optics intact.
