Tasos scope..an old & reliable friend

Back from a very fun & fruitful trip from Semakau with TASOS!
here's a long list of objects compiled by my friend (FL, thanks!) n
observed during this trip. I personally only observed about 80%
from this list as in the early morning I spend time lazing around
in my cosy tent...(see pic below)
