Hi everyone, AMP here =)
Just for your information, the Singapore Art Museum and the Singapore Astronomy Society (SingAstro) will be collaborting to host an astrophotography exhibition on the 16th of August 2008.
An excerpt from an email received:
"On behalf of SINGASTRO, the largest online astronomy forum in Singapore, I am pleased to invite you to attend ASTRONOMY 2008 which is to be held at the Singapore Art Museum (The Glass Hall) in Singapore on the 16th of August, 2008 (Saturday). ASTRONOMY 2008 is a full-day astronomy event and open to public (free admission) from the hours of 10AM to 5PM. This event will feature a series of astronomy talks ranging from astrophysics theories to practical astronomy, and even an interactive workshop on astronomy imaging. There will also be poster exhibits that will enlighten attendees on astronomy topics such as the Solar System, to Deep Sky objects. The attendees will also be treated to a collection of original astronomy images captured by our local budding astrophotographers and around South East Asia. Other interesting activities include a documentary screening on cosmology, instant lucky draws, sun-gazing (viewing of the Sun with specialized telescope instruments in Hydrogen Alpha, expect to see flares and prominences on the sun!), the opportunity to view the largest private-based telescope in South East Asia (bigger than the one at the Science Center Observatory!), and many more!"
Further details will be released on the next Astronomy session. The decision on
whether to make it into a school event will also be made on that day. If it is a school
activity consent forms will be provided.
Look out for further updates! Updates will be made as i dig up more astronomy2008 related emails from my overflowing inbox (800+++ unread emails!!).
See ya!
