I will be visiting with friends on Pasir Panjang the last two weeks of April. I have never seen the Southern Cross. Will it be possible for me to see it or will city lights drown it out?
Thanks!

Re: Crux from Singapore
Hey!
Crux can indeed be viewed from Singapore. In fact, I just saw it last night. However, I saw it in the east of Singapore which is further away from the city lights than Pasir Panjang. I still think it is visible from Pasir Panjang though.
Good luck!

Crux last night. Was taken using an Olympus EM5 from Pasir Ris around 4.30am in the morning.

- Crux last night. Some star trailing as I did not use a star tracker. Was a rough capture but still managed to get Jewel Box :)

Re: Crux from Singapore
Thanks for the encouraging news! I may never be so far south again, and Crux is something I have always hoped to see.
I will be determined to see it. Hopefully we will have some clear nights the last two weeks of April!

Gordon Gower
