On Location EXHIBITON REPORT by Lin

25 October 2000... I'm looking forward to the exhibition in Kuala Lumpur. The event looks set to be a major turning point for astro-imaging in Asia. It apparently entered the local Guinness-style records for the most number of exhibition participants (over 50 individual astronomers) and the most number of astrophotographs (over 350 images) in one place.
31 October 2000... Back from K.L. The exhibition was a resounding success. It easily drew a crowd of 5000 each day. I am duly impressed by the efficiency, commitment and warmth of the exhibition committee members. My heartiest congratulations to SASSAW, Sua, Bobby and every individual who has spent time, effort and money to making this event a fantastic one.
