Glad it was a success no matter how large or small! Well done to the organizing and the planning by everyone who played a small or big part!
Wish I could attend but would have probably spread the virus...and if Stuart went...worst!....HAHA!

But it's a giant leap for SingAstro...and now it's onwards to more such advertised sessions. I believe with more Obs the more the awareness! Lets not burn out...lets push! Well done!

Last night there was a great show...very rare "planetary conjunction"...of 13 scopes, where we have the 12.5" Obsession side-by-side with the 12.5" Portaball... PLUS the Meade 12" sct, C11, C8, C6, Mewlon 210, CN212, R200ss, another newt, two cute Maks, and my modified C6R refractor. It's not really super-charged lah....

Weixing, thanks for that photo! I am also looking out for Kelvin's photos....

Holy cow! It felt like Mars Watch again.
Met quite a few but did not catch your nicks and names. As usual, the memory not as good so if I don't recall who you are please let me know!
What a great evening. Saw alot of people and share the fruits of heavens with them. Even my tiny Meade 105mm had lots of customers but rlow's "yellow submarine" in front of me and chee chien's "curry pot" to my right and yangbeng's Obsession to my left stole alot of business with their breathtaking high mag views.
And horrors of horrors. I only realised I forgot to set my camera to night mode which means none of the backgrounds could be seen at all.
But here they are anyway :

Red and White Double Vision!
