Been a week since I came back from my Astro Trip. It was quite fun. Felt much more worth it this time round and a more deserving one. Here's my thought which I penned while I was there.

1st night tiring but fun. Weather played wif me. Manage to catch a few n impress. Resort's ok. (just like in the pics) Might need own snacks n games. Next is much awaited andro. 5am...

2nd Night: Starfields
The day started off slow. 5am andro missed, cloudy. Breakfast was ok. normal uncle vincent standard but not variety. snorkelling next was gd. saw mainly fire corals, urchins, anemone, clown fish, 'doctor fish', who other fishes stay motionless vertically for it to clean. LJ saw jellyfish. Next, lunch, much better. watched sin city next, took a short nap in it. Off to trek into jungle to look 4 waterfall. Again, small stream only lah, but trek was a real 'steam'. next went out kayaking. paddled surrounding area. saw sea snake and 'flying' fish. cool. washed up, dinner. bbq food kinda salty. joked it was fresh outta sea water, hence saltiness.
ate quickly, off to observation. good night, in fact, very good.
quick list in rough order.
-m41 (normal)
-saturn (beehive)
-mars
-pollux (binary)
-whirlpool galaxy m51
-tried pinwheel, failed.
-jewel box (much more stars)
-alpha centauri
-m8, m20 (trifid, lagoon)
-m6, m7 (butterfly, ptolemy)
-omega centauri (individual stars)
-m4 (individ stars)
-ring nebula
-leo triplet (galaxies)
-lyra epsilon (double double) binary
-gamma leo (binary)
-sombero, failed
-jupiter
-baby scorpius
-coal sack
-milky way

in fact, never sat at all since from 9am -2am. no water either. amazing.
oh on the way back the trek. LJ's gf, shuping, fell thru one of the wooden planks on a bridge while trying to take our photo. she was worried for my camera, i was worried 4 her leg. luckily, she was fine, nothing serious.

A bit patchy, cos it was written quickly and in my hp(for the 1st one). But you get the point.

That's all for now.

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE
