Totally new to this hobbie
Re: Totally new to this hobbie
when is the next sidewalk? I stay at sengkang, sidewalk at TPY no issue. I tried last Sun at East Coast to try look at stars but all I can see through the scope is my own eyelashes. Think something is wrong with my setting.

You can check the Events and Observation forum here regularly. Due to unpredictable weather, event announcement may be quite last minute. Check it everyday from about 6pm - 8pm. Very good chance of having sidewalk(s) if the sky is blue in the late afternoon.hawketeng wrote:when is the next sidewalk? I stay at sengkang, sidewalk at TPY no issue.

If you are on twitter, you may follow @astrosg, @BishanParkAstro and @weixingastro for sidewalks at Toa Payoh Central, Bishan Park and Tampines respectively.
If you are on Facebook, you may join the Fb group at https://www.facebook.com/SingaporeSidewalkAstronomy
Do bring your telescope, family and friends along during sidewalks. The telescope volunteers will be able to show you how to use your telescope and many tips on how to enjoy stargazing with it. These tips and advice may save you a lot of time, heartache and money trying to figure out too many new things all by yourself.
Hope to you see you soon in upcoming sidewalks!
