Hi,

Are you staying at Kembangan? Near Kembangan MRT? I live about 8 min walk from Kembangan MRT. Sometimes I will go to Bedok/ East Coast Park for DSO observing. Just went to East Coast last Friday with 2 more Singastro members for observation.

Haven't looked through a 'real' scope yet? Then I suggest you refrain from looking through Canopus' Obby - it will spoil your views through other scopes in the future! :)

Mandaragit,

I just sent you a PM. Anyway, I observe the sky condition everyday. So whenever, there is ok sky for observing and I have time I will go about it. There is no fixed observing timing because of variable weather conditions here. I can inform you if I am going for observing.
