Area B jetty is the area opposite Parkway parade. If i'm not wrong, the words "PP" can still be seen in the jetty. A little bit of nuisance, but it is a nice dark area nonetheless. If by bus, go parkway parade, cross the underpass right near the Parkway Parade, then walk towards the beach and turn right. You should see the jetty in no time.
Stargazing ... is an excuse to stay up past bedtime that never fails!

Service 36 from Changi Airport stops outside the East Coast sea sports centre... :) Just a short walk to the unlit jetty near the SAFRA resort.
We do it in the dark...

Hi,
By the way, is the jetty make of wood?? May be I'll bring down my GPD there to take some images.

Thanks and have a nice day.

It's 4.30 am now and I just got back from a movie. Boy, the sky is sure clear and seeing is excellent! However, I didn't see any Geminids and I'm too tired to stay outside for too long.

Hope the rest had better luck!

Saw 2, short greenish hue. fl n friend, weixing, zong, lily n family and I were @ Jetty B @ abt 11pm. Saw the 1st one thru Orion westward b4 12mn @ Jetty B. Lily n family left early as the kids need to go to bed. Very cloudy, so we decided to take a break at Big M coming to 1am. Start again @ abt 2am @ Jetty G and saw the 2nd southward abt 3am thru a small cloud opening near Canis Minor area. Still cloudy but many big and small opening here and there. End spending most time stargaze from Auriga to Crux with Bino. Southern sky the most interesting, saw many stars from the milky way, open clusters, learn some M objects with help from zong and weixing. Called it a morning at about 4am. Most fruitful evening/morning since I started this activities 3 months ago. :D :D
