Next Star Gazing Session

[astrobabe]

Hi everyone!

Is anyone keen to go star gazing in Johor? I know of an excellent place to see stars, bright and clear in the sky. Its near the 2nd link.

Perhaps someone can pick a good date when some stars may make guest appearances. Pardon the pun. ;)

Hi,

bright and clear in the sky

Hmm... just wonder what does that mean??? Is "bright" mean the sky look bright or the sky look bright due to many stars?? Can see Milky Way??

Have a nice day.

Haha...I'm not exactly an astro newbie in the sense that I do know a place must not be brightly lit as the illumination will brighten the sky and stars cannot be clearly seen. Which is why I wondered why u guys went to Tiong Bahru Park which is in the centre of the city. ;)

Trust me, this place is dark enough for me to see the constellations with my naked eye. I've identified quite a number of stars myself.

That's for the public, so we had to go to where the public are...

It's in Gelang Patah.

Sorry, Weixing, I'm not sure if Milky Way can be seen cos I managed to identify only a few constellations, e.g. Orion, Hydra, Draco, Leo, Ursa Major, etc. Haven't got a telescope you see. And I'm still an astro wannabe, but not a totally dummy one. ;)

Sure, you guys set a date and we can make further arrangements.

You can't use a telescope to see Milky Way... With a telescope, you only can see "inside" Milky Way... hee hee hee The Milky Way look like a silvery river of stars "flowing" across the sky... did you see something like that??

Have a nice day.

Oops, sorry for the blooper. Nope, have never seen the milky river. Would look out for it...probably can catch a shooting star one of these days.

Oh...

Anyway, it'll be difficult for those who doesn't drive (like me) to go there... hmm... How far is it from Singapore??

Have a nice day.
