Re: Possible Light Pollution Solutions in Singapore.

Hi everyone, I've been thinking a lot lately about light pollution in Singapore and how it affects our ability to enjoy the night sky.

Can consider this. It's slightly cheaper than usual price $400-429 and ready to use without doing all the homework to consider different telescope and budget. Compact size easier to dry store. Just need to DIY a black cover over the exposed front half hollow area. https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/...
