Hi hommel,

Haven't heard from you on Singastro for some time. Which part of Upp Serangoon are you?

Todate, I still don't know how I could bring a eq mount, a 8" SCT, accessories and even a 14" TV up to the top of the water tank. I don't think I want to do it again.

and a laptop, power extension cord, cameras, lenses...etc

Just saw your post. In fact my favorite ob site is gone, it is now covered and lit by dazzling light from a temporary bus interchange.
In 2004, I made numerous observations there with my first scope, an 80 mm achromat; Back to 2005, I had a mini star party with Remus, Elton, few students and a lady astronomer (sorry, forgot her name

), and now if the weather is OK, NUS playground is not a bad choice.

Am I seeing more ClubSnap nicks here or more Singastro guys on CS? :-)

Anyway, to keep on topic, some have tried MSCP whose top level has been converted to a mini park. This should not give off so much heat at night. Any reports on those places?

It is still not that good to be at the multi storey carpark as it is large and has a large radiating area. Even though the park has materials that does not radiate heat that much, the surrouding area has a lot of that.

It is best to observe on a field like a school field or a park which is near a water body and also quite far from buildings. Perhaps West Coast Park (since quite a lot of greenary and beside the sea) or other parks (Kent Ridge park?) that are near Clementi. Perhaps NUS football field?
