April 24th is abit fast, but I think it is a good date. Supposed to be Astronomy day.

But it's got to be public only and no comets. Stargazing and public areas don't mix because of all the light.

Anyone interested?

:lol: :wink: Hmm.... From the poor respond I think it is not a good idea. But seriously, I think we can hold it in a public area like any dark grass patch or hold it in any education institution( eg. poly or sec )all this can increase the awareness and interest of young and old alike. :wink: :wink: :lol: :roll:

Hi Sam,
Thanks for organising this event. Please let us know on the timings you will start observing. Is it from 8pm?

I'm working on Sat (yes...again...:-( ) but wouldn't mind sleeping earlier and dragging my butt out of bed early in the morning to catch the comets before going to work...heh heh

After more than a month of absence, I'm glad to say I'll be there!
