Hi and welcome,
TP group normally don't ob till very late, if we start around 9 to 10pm, normally stop b4 12mn and will not be later than 1am. But we normally will also go for a drink for about an hour b4 heading home. So wouldn't be later than 2am in total.
TP group now ob at Turf City and typically ob on Fri and or Sat night. Zong and I will normally "activate" the group if the sky is clear on the 2 nights through SMS. Most of us do drive, so if you stay near one of us, we can pick you for the ob.

Hi,
Welcome to SingAstro!!
: http://www.singastro.org/viewtopic.php?t=4910
Anyway, I usually observe near Tampines Swimming Pool which is very near to Tampines Interchange and Tampines MRT (20min walk). Not a dark site, but very convenient for me and others even without their own transportation.
Have a nice day.
Welcome to SingAstro!!
Now quite busy and weather is too unpredictable to announce any observation session on the forum... so I decided to just post one observation session announcementso if there is a observatory session , u mean weixing or zongyao will announce on the forums if they are having an observation session that night

I usually start at around 10pm when the swimming pool flood lights are usually off and usually end at around 2am or depend on weather condition, equipment condition and etc. But you can leave at anytime you want... No obligation to stay as long as I do and you are welcome to stay longer than me... ha ha haso normaly wat time will it start and ends ? .... afraid my parents wun let me stay out late.
Have a nice day.
