We’ll either car pool or arrange a cab from Chennai depending on the head count

This will be my first time coming there. So, can someone give me a small description?

Hey @Ashwath , In a nutshell - we gather by evening and setup our equipments by sunset, briefly plan what objects to observe and the observations go on till early morning ~4am. We mostly share equipment and everyone sees most of the what the group sees. We break once in a while for dinner, tea etc. The party is over by sunrise on Sunday morning.

Hey! I just wanted to know if anyone could help me with collimating my celestron binoculars in Kavalur?
And, can anyone give a brief summary on how the accommodation is in the GoGo camp?
