Skies Under JB

Aiyaya!

I had been putting off for quite a while, entries on this, my 'eternity', that I feel I may have neglected this blog or even my sights of the heavens and the night skies... :-P

The trip to Palm Resort (JB) with the Art Ministry people had been a success of sorts, judging from the pics that can be seen over here. We went there on the 15th June (Friday) and arrived late around 10.00+ p.m. We surprisingly did not have too much of a problem at the Customs and our equipment went through nicely with no incident. That same night itself around 11.00+p.m. we started setting up the equipment and we were rewarded with Scorpius and the gentle giant that is Jupiter.

A grand fascination went through those who peeked through the scope and saw the planet with its colored band displayed handsomely as it hung quietly in the sky.

We, unfortunately, were hampered by bad skies and cloudy views for the main night on Saturday when we were anxiously looking forward to cover more of the heavens from the JB resort. It also drizzled during the day too! :-P

In the end we spend that Saturday night just enjoying each other's company and downing the BBQ food items which were in abundance and totally delicious! :-D

Coming back on Sunday afternoon, we were all glad to have gotten together to savour, if even for a short while and briefly, the wonders of God's grandness and His way he continues to stir our hearts with awe and wonder. :-)
