you sure the link to your blog works....?   

Mr.LKM's blog is like a comet; very hard to detect, and always changing position.....  
But it's a wonderful sight when you manage to see it. 

or maybe it just happened to went down into Jupiter like Shoemaker....     

so sad, no more ppl can post here, all died already.

BTW tomorrow morning can see part of a penumbral eclipse of the moon.......

you forgot already ah
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=182153&st=420

tonight full moon go out can see now.
the moon will be entering the first phase of the penumbral eclipse at sunrise, but after that it will be below the horizon so we no see the rest of the eclipse.........

you can also run it on SNP. 

Using SNP for Kuala Lumpur, i have a moonset at around 7.20 am.

Anyway, some pics of this morning's eclipse....

Last comes first...saying bye bye to the eclipse at 6.47 am.


The Moon just after midnight...0.21am long way before the eclipse. Click on me here: http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b349/Mar...eEclipseat0.jpg

Partly in the penumbra at 6.42 am. Click on me here: http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b349/Mar...nEclipseat6.jpg

Nothing dramatic to see as far as the eclipse was concerned.

As a webcam, i don't think you can get a better one at this price.

As for use in astrophotography, i can't say yet because I haven't had time to do the modifications to the circuit board and mount; scared i'll void the warranty lah. Since my Casio is doing a nice job, and I don't need to bring a pc/notebookalong to do astrophotography, i think the webcam is a little bit redundant.

But for those who don't have a digicam, and don't mind doing some soldering, then the Toucam is a nice camera.

This should be more than good enough for im. It's a CCD, not a cheap CMOS....
Better grab from DAViS before stocks run out.

I fell asleep early last night, didn't even look at the sky. Klang Valley seems to be already hit by the haze. Today very polluted sky....bad days again. 

So how was the Messier gazing last night in Kluang? Hope you had a productive school holidays....astronomically speaking, of course.

the solar eclipse is just over in Turkey, I managed to catch the last 5 mins of the Live Feed from Turkey........awesome!!!!!!!

Copyright content lah. You can go see the archived eclipse stream yourself.....
2006 Total Solar Eclipse from Turkey!
DAViS said ok to post it at his thread so I did.
Anyway, to save you some trouble, here it is again: APGM Site

No piracy please. hehe. That site got BIG warning signs about copyright....

The email for APGM is at the site: astrophotogroup@yahoo.com. You should be able to get direct membership info if you email them.

I'll call William Chin (APGM President) for further details if you don't get a proper response from them. 

  thanks Mr.LKM for the reminder PM.

nope.... not without supernovas and the cataclysmically-destructive black hole hovering pass our solar system...     

You won't even know you are dead as it will happen so fast should it be in viewing distance.

thx for sharing dude ... nice side 

jus the pure digicam alone..currently plan to buy conon A700.. so is this model able to take astro pic... how to know how long is a digicam maximum exposure?
