With my recent renewed interest in interplanetary probes, space travel and star trek franchise etc., I realized the related hobby i could take up is this!:) After observing the Venus transit in NUS fields, i had decided to get a telescope myself last year, but it just got delayed due to graduation job etc etc.:$
So when the black friday deal propped up couple of days back, i wanted to grab the celestron astromaster 114EQ (selling at $230 sgd from telescopes.com...i did some basic research about the types of scopes and deals and also it was touted as best entry level scope... But i cancelled my order just a day later after realizing that third-party transfer/shipping (via comgateway) would cost me a bomb as total packaging would be 20+ kg! ....
Now resisting my immediate temptation to buy a scope, i thought i should join this forum first and seek out help from the best!! .. that's you guys..

May I know when is the next star-gazing session planned? BTW i stay at north (woodlands), if anyone would be kind to show their astro masters or even nex series, i would be happy to come over!!

Also what would be the best way to get a new scope at SG? celestron astromaster 114EQ which i almost bought online costs ~S$400 here at astro.com (sci centre). A whooping S$170 more from online. Of course warrante is there if i get it locally.
would appreciate any comments and replies
