GPP also do a Fujifilm loaner where you can book out a body + lens or just lens. There's a sizeable security deposit but you can get the X-T3 or X-T4 which are both excellent low-light performers if you're just getting your feet wet.

Hey @Frederic! I'll be bringing in my Fujifilm XT-2 with XF 16mm F1.4 R WR, I'd say I am a Enthusiast! Took a couple of sweet photos last year during a meteor shower and looking forward to be doing it again!

UPDATE

After having verified Shawka Dam, where recently they have installed LED lighting on the parking, we have decided to move the meeting point to Buraq Dam: 

Meetup Location: Buraq Dam Parking 
https://goo.gl/maps/KJDj5dukheWD5ArT7

 

For the people who are attending the Fossil Rock Newbie level drive that same evening, we will be driving together to the meeting point as soon as we are inflated.

For the members who are joining us independently, please take note to avoid this route below: Google Maps is not showing the correct information during the drive and might make you confused and lose the exit. 

 

The best route is to take the E102 if you are coming from Dubai or Sharjah, and first to enter "Al Thameed Health Centre" as your final location. Once you reach there, change it to the "Buraq Dam" and it will lead you through Fili town. This is an easy and short route.
