Planning to go Mersing / Desaru for more objects to gaze

Post by thesti2 »

Hi,

for context, I hv a 8" dob and a set equipments (ASKAR FMA 23, Star Adventurer GTi, ASI 533MC, etc) for DSO
I hv enjoyed moon, jupiter, saturn, mars, venus and also M30 for DSO in Singapore.

I hv been thinking of going to a darker place and bringing my telescopes. Since most pple in Sg seems to go to Mersing and Desaru. So I hv some questions:
1. Is it worth it going to Mersing / Desaru for star gazing? Will there be more objects to enjoy? Like, given a good sky condition, will I be able to see some DSO even with the 8" dob?
2. Which one is better, Mersing / Desaru? Can recommend as well which place to stay for stargazing?


Thank you.
