Yes. Its normal as the moon is moving around the Earth.
Clear skies are rare in Singapore but not impossible. This usually occurs after heavy rain and the sky clears up.
btw, welcome to singastro!

Hi,Everybody
Yes quite clear sky yesterday from 3pm-after rain-to 10pm,then smog gathers again.Its v.normal in Singapore and anyone interested in astro. observation should take such GOLDEN opportunity(ies) to make the best of it.For one, I shot the sun-sunspot 1026,1027-for 3 hrs!Dead tired after that!Unlike those lucky guys in Australia,NZ,US,etc thats the max we can do to keep cost of our hobby down!Thanks
