The easiest way to test would be to use a big basin. Basically you can only do about max 18" diameter basin. That sounds good, 12" can go through. But then the base of a 8" dob is already 20+". I have posted on CN before. This affects both 50th storey and 26th storey SBs.
One could disassemble and then assemble the base boards, but i'd rather not. Esp not with a tracking dob with encoders and stuff. Waste time, sweat, and by the time you are ready to ob already half dead. And then to go out you need to repeat it, sure way to kill the hobby.
Teeter scope is the only thing that can go through.

There is going to be a similar one at Strathmore ave/Queenstown, 47 storeys...HDB. Skyville. Edit- sorry i think Skyville is not that suitable, the blocks are pretty close to one another, very little "lobang" showing the sky.
correct me if I am wrong, the sky bridge is not really open to public right?
Re: Good Viewing Locations in Singapore
It's open, $5. Till 2200hrs for 50th storey though, and you have to get past those turnstiles.vil wrote:

After 2200hr i will go to 26th storey, not too bad.
I could go to 50th storey again at 0600hr, very dark then.
