presenting a powerpoint presentation on the 2005 Mars Outlook. He
touched on the issues of what to expect on the observation of Mars this year. He
also touched on what one can see when using a telescope and how to make a good sketch of
the planet ; how color filters help bring out the finer details on the features if Mars.
He also touch lightly on how to use the software Mars Previewer II and how it can
help observers know the Central Meridian (CM) of Mars on a given date and time.
The software also tells the observer the size and albedo of the planet as
well. The lecture concluded at around 5:30pm with ALPers going over to the dining room to
have a good dinner. Since today was the 2nd anniversary of ALP, members obliged by
bringing some food (potluck) to share with fellow ALPers. The dining table was full
of food that they had a great hearty dinner while continuing their conversations over at
the dining table.
Mooncake
Festival Dice Game was readied for the members who joined the exciting game. Those
who joined the contest were James Kevin Ty, Jett Aguilar, Jhun Embuido, Edgar Ang, Alice
Villa-Real, Rosemarie Gonzales, Nat Nat and Kim Paredes, Henry So, Jon Alcartado, Melisa
Bata , Angie Tan, Irving Raymundo, Lea Visaya and Edmund Rosales. Members who paid
but wasn't able to attend were as follows: Allen ( Ellen Alcartado played on his behalf) ,
John Lawrence Uy (Luigi Rosales played on his behalf) and Albert Lao (Rich Pijuan played
on his behalf).
As the game progresses, Henry So was able
to bag the first prize on just the 1st round! (Lucky Guy!) but since there were still lots
of prizes on the table, he had to wait until all the prizes on the table are won by the
participants. After all the prizes on the table are won, there will be 1 final round
for the participants to snatch the grand prize from Henry. Since Henry got a high
combination of 4 dices of 4s and combination of 11, the other participant's chance to
snatch it from him will have to roll 5 dices of any numbers to win over him.
Unfortunately for the rest of the participants, no one does it and Henry was so happy and
all smile after bagging the grand prize! Congratulations Henry! As for the
rest of the guys and gals, its better luck next year :) LOL
