Hello all, I am a newbie with ZERO knowledge of astronomy. I have viewed a lot of websites and fell in love with telescopes from Orion and Meade but I have decided to hold off buying one for fear of buying something that is way too complicated for myself. Instead, I found a great buy *Galileoscope* from Astrobargains and hope acquire more experience before I venture on to more sophisticated telescopes.
I hope to gain more knowledge from all the helpful people in this website and look forward to having a chance to join you all on your Stargazing adventures! I stay in Pasir Ris but am only free on weekends due to work commitments.
=)

Weekends are perfect as most trips to malaysia falls on the weekend of new moon usually.
There are trips up to Punggai, Sedilli and Mersing.
If you drive, the nearest one would be punggai which is around 1 to 1/2 hours drive thru the new E22 highway.
Search around the forum and you will find the information u need lol

Welcome to Singastro! Read some of library books (section 520) on telescope and stargazing. Check out the events and observation forum for upcoming and past events. Wait till you find out more about AP, Tak, Televue and you may fall deeper in love.

Thank you! Haha, I have been reading a lot of articles and stuffs, looking at telescopes (Would love to get a GOTO Refractor) but it's exhausting to the mind. Hope to meet up with you all soon!
