Alright, this is for sharing of your observation experience. Or, if you are arranging gatherings, star-gazing expeditions or just want some company to go observing together, you can shout it out here.

I noticed Kahang is offering sliding roof chalet units for RM25,000 (ownership).
Singastro observatory, anyone? :)

Whoah... is that inclusive of the land underneath? or is that just a sort of long-term lease? that's just the price of a Mach1!

(and an Atlas in Kahang would probably beat a Mach1 in SG any day of the week...)

its not ownership but rather 5 year lease. and its sunk in the mud, not floating. still not stable enough for imaging.

Hi,
Been there once for an overnight obs... nice place, but the night when we were there, the dew was very serious at one time... worse than anything I had experience... you can even see the water particles "flying" across the light of a touchlight... [smilie=woa.gif]

Have a nice day.
