This means u managed to get RM1.3k.
Do it take long to receive your order??

Money is ready now but I think I shouldn't spend too much. As you know, the economy nowadays is not good, I have to ikat perut . I hope that Meade does ship ETX-105AT in their next shipping batch in December .

Oh, march05, don't mention it again. Until now, I still fail to contact the seller of my hdd, futhermore, it is impossible to repair the hdd .

i use a 300D .. wut should i buy to fix my dslr to a telescope.. quote me the price.. if possible, someone please go to Japan and buy me 20da.. LOL.. but if 300D can suffice astrophotography, might as well make use wut i've owned.. kindly please reply..

Any SLR type camera from the popular brand manufacturers can be easily mounted on a telescope.
Basically, to do prime focus photography, where you turn the telescope into a super long telephoto lens, you only need a T-ring (for your particular camera model) and a T-adapter/Camera adapter. I think any of the local Astronomical Equipment Suppliers will be able to help you since the 300D is quite a popular camera amongst amateur astrophotographers.

Mr.LKM very quiet nowadays? I can't ask you about the -you know what- since i'm forbidden to talk about it.....

The other day I was using Google Earth, and looking at Kluang, wondering which building your house is.......your town looks like a good place for astronomy, quite flat terrain all round. Are there a lot of industrial factories in the town area?

Yeap Kluang is not bad for astronomy.But I think Mr.LKM is at the towncenter area
so can expect light pollution the dark side of kluang would have nice skyview.
err..let me ask for u March..Mr.LKM how the photo? can upload or not?

thank you, deepyu, that was a sticky one for me.....

Kluang got a dark side ah ......maybe i should drop by for a visit.

Dark site or dark side?

I have to get myself a UV Sata cable in order to let my hdd working... (Forbidden area is released to public )Kluang just has a little industrial area.

Anywhere i can conduct my nocturnal activities is good. the Force is not with me.

So got hope again lah!

both?? wat reall wrong with ur hdd.i tot u told us cannot repair one?

Kluang,Batu Pahat area specially kampung area got lot of nice place to
do astrophoto..little light pollution.

I bought a new hdd but...the old hdd works when I on the computer...
Guys, I will upload the photo soon, don't drool everywhere

the old fellow maybe feeling scared, going to be replaced, start working hard again.

forbidden zone up again.

these towns your backyard ke?
Know of any good dark sites within 100 km of KL (with reasonable road access, of course) good for night sky?

kluang u ask Mr.LKM lor..me know Batu Pahat quiet well.

mm..how about genting?!(have to find dark sites) or Bukit Tinggi?

I am thinking of Genting too because it's high enough but the cost...

Genting is very bad for star gazing (tried many times). Always full of clouds (the name genting means `cloud top', hehe) and a bit too cold.

Bukit Tinggi can be quite good (I have tried Janda Baik a couple of times) but being surrounded by hills, the seeing is bad for low objects. Also, the whole area is getting developed very fast and light pollution is becoming a nuisance. I am hoping to find some new dark sites to watch from before the dwindling current sites get overrun by civilisation.....
At the rate things are going, it maybe that I will have to go to BP and Kluang to get some satisfactory views!

Kluang and Batu Pahat always have clouds

Aiyah like that no more hope already.

but sometimes the sky is very clear ( last last night )
