Re: anyone tried obs at kranji dam area?

Hi Gary
The golf course belongs to the NSRCC kranji. Light should be off during wee hours. From what i see it shouldnt affect the seeing condition. The only lights that is found there and musr not be shut off should be those red indicative lightings all over the electrical pylon and antena.

anyone tried obs at kranji dam area?

At times i will pass by kranji dam (kranji reservoir park) after work and find that this place is quite clear off from any obstacle and it seems like a good spot for observing. Do not quite sure if this place is darker comparing to other parts of the island. Anyone explore this place before?
