Hi folks,
here are the consolidated images from our July trip. There were more misses than hits on our passed trips this year up till now, we finally lucked out on July, where we were blessed with 2 clear nights. It was also an opportune time to test out my newly modified Canon 5D2 camera.

Hi Kelvin, Another set of Great Pictures. It is nice to learn that you get the 5D2 to work, both of them?

Elton, great pictures from you too.
