Hi Bohemians,
An overnight observation has been scheduled for this Saturday, Feb 13th, 2010 at Damdama. The Night happens to be a New Moon Night giving us a dark and moon less sky. Although the weather during day time is warm, but the night at the site may be cold, so carrying woolens may come handy.
Interested members may confirm their participation by sending a mail to me at the below mentioned address with the details of their equipments and Conveyance.
