SingAstro

Hi, just want to suggest, is it possible to put these on Singastro main page?

1) The Sun now
2) The current Moon phase
3) The present position of Jupiter's Galiean satellites
4) The present position of saturn's main moons

thanks.

err..why do you need to know the sun now? Just open your window and see la.....

I would like to have:

1. Moon rise/set time
2. Weather forecast
3. Satellite image of Singapore

Hehe, the Sun now means like sunspots pics taken from SOHO website, just like the one on Grandeye homepage.

Maybe also Planet rise/transut/set times?
Iridium flares predicted times

Oops, asking for more and more. :oops:

Hi guys
Thanks for the suggestions. Yes those would be really neat features to have. Some other nice features may include sighting predictions for the hubble space telescope & the international space station, summaries of meteor showers and highlights of the night sky. However, the forums is essentially a place that has been created for the astro community in Singapore and around the world to interact with one another. Its run by volunteers with limited time and resources.

There are already many websites that implement some of the nice features. You can try
-www.heavens-above.com
-www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/ataglance
and many more. They are just a google and a click away!

cheers
