The Moon and Jupiter was observed by passing tourists from Japan, Indonesia, Australia, UK, Malaysia, and also locals Singaporeans. Most of them were looking through a telescope for the first time, and it was a positive, awe-inspiring experience for them.

There was "a passing shower" from a NParks watering the roadside plants, so I had to quickly shift the APM binocular away to the centre of the pedestrian walkway. A big note of thanks to Mr Chia (superiorstream) who drop by to help for this sidewalk astronomy event. He managed to chat away about astronomy to a member of the public (that guy in pink shirt) for more than 1.5 hours!
