Post by rlow »

Gavin and I will be obbing.... weather pending, of course.

SATURN OPPOSITION WATCH
Location: Tiong Bahru Park (opp. Tiong Bahru Plaza/MRT)
Date: Sunday 11 May 2014
Time: 8-11pm

I will bring my 15" dob. Anyone who is keen to observe Saturn, Mars, Moon etc is welcome to join us there. Night skies are pretty bad these few nights and the weather forecast is thunderstorm over the next two afternoons, so we have to keep our fingers crossed and hope the weather improves. Any update will be posted here.

Great! If it's on, will bring my 12.5" Obsession Dob.

The more scopes the merrier!

The park is at the corner of Lower Delta Road and Tiong Bahru Road. Here's a Google Maps pin:

Wish to go but facing much "opposition " from other half...
I miss the place where stars shine bright, to gaze upwards in awe of the sight
