Looking on at the foreground were (L-R) Tommy Tan , Rafael Lunar and Brian Davis. Joseph Torres is all set to start Messier Hunting with his Celestron C114 Newtonian reflector. Dante Noche also got to view the beautiful Omega Centauri star cluster through the small but terrible Orion Short Tube 80 refractor! Allen Yu was busy the whole evening concentrating on his Messier Marathon run. Jonathan Alcartado looking at M51 Whirpool Galaxy through Dante Noche's homemade 8" f/7 Dobsonian reflector.
