Well, pretty much every dark and open-view accessible locations on the island . Upper Seletar, Kranji, Changi coast, .... If low energy I just choose to shoot from my HDB corridor or garden in Punggol.

Something not to miss: the super close conjunction of Jovian system and Neptune.

M4-Antares region in black and white.
It was actually meant for a color image of this fascinating field. But after receiving 9 subframes L, I noticed the diffraction spikes are so prominent thanks to the dazzling major stars in and out of the view. Hope I could give it another try but using my own refractor at a dark sky location soon.

Anyway, the imaging performance is quite impressive.

Planets lined up.
Two exposures blended -- one in focus and the other slight out of.

Re: My astrophotography 2022
Redo the planets alignment photo, using 3 sub-explosures for the sky and 1 for the foreground.

2022-4-22 Impromptu drive to Desaru coast
11PM in (JB), 4AM out (Sg). A crazy night. Never been there before, but the first sight was surreal. Bortle 4 night skies!

It was probably not ideal weather (passing clouds never end), but what a trip!

Re: My astrophotography 2022
2022-Apr-25 Kept tracking the planets-moon co-motion in the morning sky.
I missed last morning's moon-planets alignment -- I was not sure if the so bright moon would make the images of the many-magnitudes-dimmer planets any impressive.
This morning the moon had moved to the side of Saturn. But still way too bright.
I would probably skip tomorrow morning's alignment again. But hope for clear skies in the subsequent mornings -- there will be great visuals of the much thinner crescent moon vs the planets.

2022-Apr-28 Cresent moon and planets alignment. Hope they are worth the insect bites.
