Astronomical Objects that can be seen in Singapore

[font=Comic Sans MS] [align=justify]Many people think that astronomy is a silly hobby in Singapore. You’d think that in Singapore, you can only see the moon and a few stars, right? Actually, a lot more things than you expect are visible in Singapore and here is the proof!

Every one of the pictures on this page was taken right here in Singapore by our very own amateur astronomers. While these pictures are not representative of what you would see normally in the eyepiece, each one is still accessible to the Singaporean astronomer with just a small telescope.

For simplicity’s sake, the authors’ names and the equipment used are not included here, but follow the web link above each picture to see the full-sized original pictures and to find out more details.

There are many more spectacular pictures taken by our Singaporean astronomers from darker spots in the region and around the world, but I leave you to discover and enjoy them on your own. In the meantime, here is a showcase of the astronomical objects that can be seen in Singapore, all of them taken right here in Singapore.

Enjoy![/font][/align]

Well done... a small island does not mean a small sky, it's for all to share.
