"Strange" - 0922'01 By Sentosa Development Corp.
Indeed there are many strange entries - ranging from various
astrological practices - black magic, white magic, palmistry, aromatherapy...
and interesting performance too - snake charmer, levitation and one master
lifted a 6-foot alumininum ladder using suction cups placed on his eyelids!
We had some fun time looking at the LCD projected real-time lunar cracters
up-close from Mr Au MC's CeleStar and my Neptune b/w ccd camera. While
in the open grassland nearby, several scopes were set up to peep at the
moon and the nearby Mars. Mr Au gave a slide cum talk towards the
end.
Sunday 0923 the sky was bad - the skyward pointing scopes
were close to useless with nothing to watch. The projection screen remained
blank. Remus gave a talk and showed the handful audience star fields,
nebulae, galaxy and globular clusters using his excellent astrophotographs.
We also enjoyed his multimedia presentation - a make- belief trip planet-hopping
and outwards to stars, galaxies and nebulae. We packed up and left 8:30pm
just when the moon beginning to emerge from the clouds. Even Mars and
a few stars from the 'Tea-cup' was showing...
Intended to test out the performance of this cheap webcam
I use this opportunity to see what I can achieve There is no view-back
capability on this little camera so with the lens locked to infinity I
shot the followings using the build in HQ mode. Some images were dressed
up in MS PictureIt. MORE STRANGE> PART
