We had that in mind but the interested member was in deep slumber by that time.

Oh thats a myth, why most occupants sleep in Becharo. Specially on the return part.

Leaving in 1 hour for Kalri Lake (Star Gazing)
Will be back tomorrow, InshAllah.

@memad
I mix some sleeping pills in their tea so i can listen to my favorite music on the way back;)

Good luck for the trip, do pick rabri from Thatta for the night

If possible snap the migratory ducks in the lake at dawn. That will be a real treat for some enthusiasts here. Though the Kalri is a sanctuary for birds, but early morning soots are always great.

Looking at orion and taurus constellations with binoculars.( Zain do correct me where I am wrong)

Astronomers busy spotting objects under the milky way.

What is this green ray, some kind of high intensity light???

The green ray is the astronomical laser, used for pointing objects in the sky.

This bright light is from the gas field.

Visible trail is left by a passing airliner.
