Hi!
No problem!! :D

At most if the SPF people are using the place, we will stay beside the canal.

Description of the place:
There are two distinct knolls at both sides of the canal. The northern knoll faces west( ard 200 degrees view ) and the southern knoll(the one i ob at) faces east had a view of the bukit timah hill(also ard 200 degrees).

Skyglow is evident but greatly reduced by surrounding vegetation. There are also 2 2-3 football fields size grasslands at the both sides of the area. The eastern patch provides 360 deg view but the lights of the nearby CCk are there. The northern patch overlooks keat hong camp and bbt hill and faces east.

Basically, lots of place to ob at this place.

8" scope can be trolleyed; or someone can drive by. Otherwise 5" can be easily backpacked.
