How to Estimate Limiting Magnitude in Singapore?

[Gary]

@Fuzzball. Congrats on your future balcony observatory! You are most probably going to spend most of the time observing there.

Since you drive, do consider driving up to Johor to stargaze to get the most value out of astro gear and your COE!

Thanks Gary, I also look forward to observe from my new home!

For East coast park the open grass patch near the VJC bridge is not bad, but when i was there last month for trying out ISON, the ships anchored along the coast is getting more numerous..and their lights are very bright..

Thanks, Antares for the suggestion. btw, where is the bridge specifically?

The open patch is unique in the sense u can see coconut trees , the location is the red star on the map.

This site was the darkest i had visited in SG so far, had seen M8 through your scope Jun Wei, thanks. Meanwhile i am up-grading my 65mm scope to a 90mm Carbon Tube, very light weight, only 3.5 kg, hope to see more next round with you guys...
