Alright, this is for sharing of your observation experience. Or, if you are arranging gatherings, star-gazing expeditions or just want some company to go observing together, you can shout it out here.
Hi everyone, NUS Astronomical Society is organising an overnight observation trip to ECP area between carparks C4 and D1, next Saturday 5th July 2008. We will be there about 8+ or 9. Please do join us
For the newbies coming and not know where the area is, you can first go to the MacDonald's at East Coast Park. For those driving, the carpark nearer to the grounds is carpark D1.

Stargazing ... is an excuse to stay up past bedtime that never fails!
I think I'll join you guys since it's a Saturday. I'm pretty excited about it, especially when I do not have any equipment myself. I'm hoping to try out different kinds of binocs during this session, such as the 8x40, 7x50 and 10x50 ones with multi coating. It'll help me decide which to get. (:

Hi zong,
I may be new one in SG.
I am being a Hong Kong people now working in SG, I have experience in overnight trip in HK. How about in SG ? any necessary to bring ? any precaustion in night time ?
Hi, welcome to Singapore then! And welcome to Singastro
I've not been to HK so I'm not sure of the differences, but usually we need ground sheet and possibly sweater over the night (cold and windy). I usually tell people to wear long pants at least, but some people don't and are fine with the cold. And of course, a telescope if you have one here!
Precautions, there shouldn't be any because we'll still be quite near to civilisation. Even the toilet is only less than 200m away.
Hope to see you there this Saturday If you need directions, you can give me a call once you reach East Coast Park.
