Public Star Party 2 for Wellesly School Kulim

We are glad to have an invitation for a school star party on Friday 10th 2012. We wouldn't have succeed without the help from Sakthi, Veerayen's wife. She is the school teacher who had allegedly made this arrangment. A thousand thanks for her.

We had Vijay, a software engineer who helped us on the day. We are fortunate enough having him to deal with approx 80 students+teachers.

Here are the event brief:

Arrived at 7pm. Fixing up telescope and planning for the event

Vijay locates the planet with the binocular. Very helpful indeed

Begin with indoor classes for students before outdoor session

Briefing about solar system, teach simple method for cardinal directions, teach easy way to different stars and planets in night sky, sunrise and sunset, constellations.

Brief about telescope and how it works

Refracting and reflecting methods


We've got serious listener from students, teachers and parents

Unfortunately, we don’t have secondary camera to tell  about the outdoor activities.
The dSLR  and a laptop were in use for celestial objects viewing.
That was really interesting  and exciting part of response, interactions, face expression ..
Packing home now. left at 11.30pm
