Observing at Kahang farm this Sat

[starfinder]

Hi Rich (Airconvent) and Rich (RLow), tks for the comments!

The train ride from Singapore (Tanjong Pagar) to Kluang took about 2.5 hours, then a 500m walk to the bus station, then a local bus to Kahang town (40mins), and then a 10 min drive into the farm.

(For the train, note that if buying on-line on the KTM website, you would have to buy a Singapore-Segamat ticket and vice versa, rather than to Kluang, since KTM does not sell "short" distance trips until less than 24 hours before departure and then it would have to be at the counter rather than on-line. Be sure that that particular train stops at Kluang. Singapore-Kluang is considered "short" distance, whilst Singapore-Segamat is not. So you end up paying more.)

I think it would be easier to take a bus from Singapore to Kluang (Five Star Tours) and then at the same bus station change bus to Kahang. However, note that you cannot buy the return ticket (Kluang to Singapore) from Five Star Tours in Singapore; you can only buy it from Five Star Tours' counter office in Kluang bus station itself. Phone no.: 07-7719966 and 07-7736866. Several buses a day.)


BTW, I have re-loaded a replacement image of the Milky Way above. It is a combined image from 4 exposures. Much better this time.
