any ideal location in kl area...

yeah... asking the same question the sky in KL is too polluted

then any nearby location.. within 30-45 minutes driving from KL..

How about Rawang or Semenyih?

woow.. I just knew this thread exist. may I know, how much minimum budget to start astrophotography? do u need special telescope? coz I have one lying around, been a while since I used it.. I live in quite remote area, so, I always dream to try this area one day since most of the time, the sky is clear

Canon Powershot S120 is great camera for Astrophotography. It makes Milky Way timelapse video by itself.

ISON COMET this Friday Morning 1am to 3am Malaysia's night sky?








Read: http://newswatch.nationalgeographic.com/20...on-cliffhanger/

Nope,it's on Sunrise (6~7 am)

So did you see it this morning?



BBC reported that the comet was destroyed by the sun corona this morning (good riddance)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-25143861

No..cause the magnitude was too low to be see with naked eye (before the peak)
and it's getting cloudier in these day

hi dianqing99

sorry to ask, can a dslr able to capture such image as comet so clear ?

Or require specalize lens.....

Another candidate for saving ton of time and effort for making starttrail and milkyway time lapse apart of S120. No other camera can do this yet in-camera except for these two powershots (S120 & G16) afaik.



But i still prefer S120 coz its been a while since canon make nice look pocketable camera after the discontinuation of IXUS series.

While the black one is ugly, Look at this silver one so cute and match with your other apple devices



Imagine you're on vacation away from city lights in few countries or around Malaysia. Every single places you visited you're able to produce nightscape timelapse videos of the star & milkyway without having to download thousand of photos into your computer, then spend hours of batch editing in Lightroom, hours of time waiting for your computer to process before uploading to youtube.

Remember you're on vacation, time better spent doing other things than infront of the computer. Put this baby on gorilla pad in the balcony of the resort or even better if you have motorized rail track like stage zero dolly for hyperlapse video.

In few hours while you're sleeping or having sex with your partner, your video is ready to be uploaded using the resort wifi connection for the world to see without any computer intervention.

Astronomy camera kaki should be getting photos like these if the weather is good

any good spot around klang valley?

http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Community/2...-meteor-shower/

here got info for KL area....

penang location for me please !!!!!!

bright afternoon.. might not able to see it

Gertak Sanggol Bayan Lepas

I just called National Observatory in Langkawi, they said it's tonite and tomorrow nite.

They havent spot anything yet cause it's cloudy in langkawi

They also said you should be able to see it anywhere across the sky not specifically in any direction. That is if you can spot any.
It'll be best to get away from light pollution area.

It's clear sky in penang and i see stars but meteor shower is 404

Good luck and dont forget to make a wish if you see it.
