Hey all, I'm enjoying my book out now and just wanna share, Pulau Tekong has the most ideal sky for stargazing. It's so clear, no clouds, doing 5BX every morning was something to look forward to lately since Saturn and Jupiter are so prominent. It was also my first time seeing Orion and it's so amaz...

And I noticed it's kinda hazy sometimes.

Coolness. Yeah, 168. I'll do it next year as I only have 15 days left till NS enlistment. Does this Tampines astro club got a website?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Hey dudes, just wanna ask about the part of the moon we see. Is it true that we see the same side of the moon every day of the year; since they already have moon maps showing only a part of the moon, e.g fixed location of Mare Crisium.

Thanks.
