Just an update to all, the horizon is fairly bright due to the street lights along the road bordering the field. If you can ignore it, the field is huge and have a clear view of the eastern skies...

i'm 16, i cant drive.
you can contact me at leekunloong87@hotmail.com regarding the observation at your area.
do you have any equipment? or do we need any? i dont have any because i'm newbie
(thought of buying one, but scraped the idea as my knowledge of astro and equipment is too little)

learn as u go along.. knowledge is just out there for u to find out.. cannot sit down there and just say ur knowledge is not enough.. i am also a newbie.. but after a week of joining singastro and i asked alot of questions, i already have a little more knowledge of astro (of course not all) and already know the basic things about wat scope to consider and wat scope to avoid and roughly how do some parts like EPs, optic tube, etc work.. just ask.. no one will ignore you.. ppl here are very friendly

i am thinking of buying a scope now.. still choosing from all range of scopes and get to choose which is the most suitable... maybe you can take a look in my thread here.. the newbie astro thread.. inside got many information that maybe newbie will ask

Have fun!!

but the most important thing is that u have to have interest before u can "hardcore" on astronomy

Hey rich!

Maybe we can have drop by there on one of the nights. You drive? I live in khatib, just a resevoir away from yio chu kang.
