With the haze that's going on right now, I wouldn't recommend star gazing.
If it clears up and the skies are clear, you should equip yourself with a good binoculars ( try Celestron's 7 X 50 ) or a telescope ( refractor/reflecting) depending on your interest. Avoid supermarket telescopes, they suck. You can purchase them from stores which specialise in these stuff, I ordered mine online. Penang has some good places to buy these stuff, you should look out for them.

QUOTE(failed.hashcheck @ Mar 4 2014, 12:34 PM) Me usuually near kuala selangor and sungai semilang. Not really good place but still peace of mind not much worry my telescope kena tapau by indon strangers. lot other place has good sky but not really good for telescope deployment since got warm air or safety issue. if outside selangor i would recommend bukit tinggi. A fellow hobbyist! What scope do you use?  |

Wow, I see.  Never knew a Malaysian would be so into amateur astronomy. I still prefer deep sky objects so I'm more into large reflectors and stuff, though planets may not be as crisp as seen with your high end refractors.  |
