On how to go LT4:

Go to North Spine of NTU, the building with a overhead bridge linking to NIE. (Landmarks: Canteen A, OCBC bank, Lee Wee Nam Library.)
Head to Level 2, just go up the stairs from Canteen A or take a lift. You will reach the rooftop area (no shelter, that is).
Head south, away from Lee Wee Nam Library, towards the fountain. There are various maps on this level, so you can check your position from there.

Map below for reference:

For those who want to go there by public transportation, please inform me in this thread and then I can go to Boon Lay MRT station to pick you up.
Thanks Jiahao, though this won't be necessary. I have my c5 and binoviewer on standby ready for the 1st quarter moon... if only we can get rid of the all-sky nebulae... :?

Thank you for your attention Aironvent. Before the observation, many people like Richard, more than 20 pupils form a primary school and folks from Ruplic Poly Astro Club. However, it started drizzling when the ob was supposed to start, so actually nobody came except people from RP. Finally we just sat and talked with the RP folks inside the building on whose rooftop we wanted to hold the ob.
Clear skies please...
