Support. Will be there. Just a reminder for those who are driving and intend to stay overnight - the night parking fees is $4 from 10.30pm to 7am:

For those who are driving AND bringing equipment, you can temporarily park at Bishan Street 25 and call us to help you unload.

In addition to sidewalk outside McDonald's, we will be trying the darker spots near Big Lawn I or even the middle of this big lawn.

There are a few nice noodle stores that are opened 24 hours at Bishan Street 22 hawker centre and there is a 24 hr provision store there too. POSB ATM machine is also near there.

Hi,
I change both the observation session thread "Bishan Park sidewalk astronomy" and "Sidewalk Astro @ Toa Payoh" to sticky for easy access.

Have a nice day.
