Yes Airconvent(can I know ur name pls?), you R right, but in Mumbai we use to go outskirts for any events/away from main city say around 40km+ (travel by local train around 1hour), stay over night at the observation field & return next day morning, else even Mumbai city/home is sometimes clear.... :)

here I don't have any telescope....just Nikon D50 with 200mm zoom.
Any group around here/CCK or Jurong who does regular star gazing?
as it has been long time gap for me for real observations...photography, how & were do u all go for these kinda activity and how often?
Ooops....r they tooo many Q?s :?:

Hey..that's like us going to Mersing except Mersing is about 2-3 hrs drive away... Check out the observation section for updates on sessions. weixing conducts regular ones in tampines as long as the weather is fine but these days its raining.
my name is richard, also known as richardI. there's another richard here (rlow), so to avoid confusion, we call him richardII...heh heh
