Hi,

Is there any Huge Observatory in Spore ? If Yes, Can someone direct me where it is ?

A 40-cm Cassegrain reflector... A small scope compare to other observatory.

Anyway, it's at Singapore Science Centre. See the below link for more information:

Is there any special event (group observation) to look at Nasa's Deep Impact Mission

Currently no.

Have a nice day.

The science centre has 2 observatories, the older & bigger one housed the 16-inch cassegrain, the smaller newer one has a C11 & Questar 7.

I spoke to one of the SSC staff yesterday. It seems that they plan to open the bigger observatory to the public every fortnight on a Friday. No need to write in like before, just turn up at the observatory and obtain a pass on that Friday evening. Currently, they plan to limit to 50 passes only. If the response is good, they may decide to open every friday.

Currently, the staff are 'under training,' so it is not yet known when they will start the fortnightly public session. Anyway look out for it and invite your friends along.
