QUOTE(March05 @ Oct 18 2005, 07:03 PM) u rub it in some more ah...... CompMac, we plot to get deepyu one of these days, ok?  No problem. Just bring some honey and salt. I'll know what to do with it when we 'fetched' him.  QUOTE(Mr.LKM @ Oct 18 2005, 08:26 PM) Hey guys, tell you all a secret! The best place for celestial observation! CHILE, don't tell anybody else or the place will get polluted Here is the pic! I think that's where the Arecibo Radio Observatory is located. The dish where SETI information is collected. Deep inside the jungle lies the biggest satellite dish in the world.

You may contact him according to this page http://www.meade.com/authdlrsintrnl/Malaysia/8569.html. I think he is back from Chile but I haven't get any reply from yet.  He is an experienced astronomer. He is not just a goods seller but he explains and tell you what exactly you are buying as well as he will give you a suggestion from where to start even tell you what event will be happened.

QUOTE(March05 @ Oct 18 2005, 07:54 PM) I can drive (good for nothing else anyway). U bring ur M16, CompMac do ur Computations for the next event so deepyu can be outside his house `accidently testing' when we surprise him. We can give deepyu his very own `Halo". wow me absence for few days u'll making a complot arr i'll be waiting with all my equipment QUOTE(Choostar @ Oct 19 2005, 05:04 PM) Partial lunar eclipse on 17 Oct 2005 by Gradient Lok of APGM: Nice pics  me dont have time to do any editing

Ok, no problem but the pilot is a bit angry because he just started the engine...... Back to the topic, Mars and Moon @ 19/10/05Look at the red dot, it's Mars but I failed to shoot it, I increase the contrast of that area a lot intend to let it be seen.

It's impossible to get both the normal Moon and Mars exposed correctly in the same frame due to the disparity in their brightness. Pics showing both seemly correctly exposed are either superimposed one on the other, or done with selective contrast/brightness editing. It's getting too easy to `cheat'.

Don't make it as 'chear', it's tweak  . I think you all should increase your monitor contrast to 100 to view the Mars. Deepyu, F16 just flied over your house. He saw a telescope at your garden......
