The overcast sky suddenly cleared when we arrived
at Lantau Island to visit the biggest school observatory in
Hong Kong. We observed many objects, including M31 the Andromeda
Galaxy, M15 globular cluster, the big 'M' of Cassiopeia, the
Taurus and its bright red giant Alderberan, the Square ofAutumn,
etc. Some of us even saw a meteor. The rising M45 was undoubtedly
the highlight of this memorable evening. Its stars even revealed
their blue colour under the big telescope!
