October 8, 2016 ALP International Observe the Moon Night Observation Report
by James Kevin Ty
 

Last October 8, 2016, some members of the Astronomical League of the Philippines hosted the International Observe the Moon Night (InOMN) at SM By the Bay. Members who were present are President James Kevin Ty and his son Kendrick Cole KC Ty; Treasurer Andrew Ian Chan, Secretary Christopher Louie Lu and daughter Frances Lu; director Iah Serna and Miguel Cajita and her mom Mel Cajita and 2 staffs of Cutting Edge as well as guest Esmer de Leon.

James brought along a Celestron SkyMaster 20x80mm binocular on sturdy tripod, Andrew with his Skywatcher 80ED refractor on Vixen GP mount ; Christopher with his Celestron AstroMaster 80mm refractor on CG-2 mount; Cutting Edge staff brought along an AstroMaster C114 Newtonian reflector on CG-2 mount

They started to setup after the SMBY Saturday fireworks as they saw a very hazy Quarter Moon forcing itself to come out of the thick high clouds. Unfortunately, weather didn't cooperate that evening and also started to drizzle a bit so they called it a night at around 9:30pm. They posed for a group shot before packing up their equipment and calling it a night and had late dinner at Razons before gong home late in the evening after 11:30pm.
