| The National University of Singapore Astronomical
Society (NUSAS) organized its first-ever
overseas star party, , last June 1998.
It was held during the university's vacation in Peninsula Malaysia. The
observing site is located at Batu Layar Beach which is located about 10km
below to the town of Desaru.
This event was catered for novices and
enthusiasts of astronomy in NUS where the experienced NUSAS committee lead
the participants into a spectacular celestial voyage.
However in Batu Layar, observing even the
distant galaxies such as the Andromeda Spiral and
Guided astrophotography also found its time in the dawn hours as stellar objects like the ,Eta Carinae and the Cygnus nebulae were simply irresistible. The pictures below captures the excitement and memories of this eventful star party. |
