Seems like you are getting better result with beginner stuff than me who are using a little high end stuff. Okay, I will extract it when I am free. Now, I am too tired to do so. I am going on vacation to Genting tomorrow.

I don't mind as long as it's astronomical photos.

What are the interesting objects? Saturn? I am not so much into astrophotography at the moment. I need to get myself very known to the optics of telescope very well before I go further more. I didn't forget the mechanics as well.

I am going to get some wide angle eyepieces these days. March05, I have forum to recommend to you. Singastro.org and http://www.astron.sh.cn/cgi-bin/leobbs.cgi . I suppose that you know www.cloudynights.com as well.

Oh no.. I miss it too. Is there any chance now? I need the photo badly now. Haha... I think I need something to record the observing event, any recommendation?

I had a xbox360. I sold it because I was going to get a wedge. Now, I will still be using my altazimuth mount. Go for a xbox360, it does really worth the penny. I would try Wii once its price is around 1000. It's going to be soon.

I find that it's easier to learn science in Chinese as the character itself can tell you what it is.

Don't hang yourself. Haha... I haven't seen it though. It's always blocked by the clouds.

Hehe, check my blog. Haha... bad advertisement...

Astronomy is always LUCK...

Maybe your friend has good luck with it. By the way, March05, our astronomy club needs fund to get observing equipment, could you help us to look for some? (either funds or equipments)

It's my school astronomy club, CHHS Astronomy Club. It's formed by me and my several enthusiast friends. Maybe we will hold an event which is the Aurigid meteor shower which is said to be 1000 meteors per hour.

Hehe, March05, help us lar. Help us to build the best Kluang and Malaysia Astronomy Club. Julchin, how about you? 50+ an hour was great! Mine was 3 during 25 minutes.

Haha, your luck is even worse. I guess you are not the only one. I am looking for more too! Do you have MSN Messenger or any other IM?

Erm.. those telescopes will keep you out of interest very very soon. How much is your budget?

Actually my club is only limited to the students of Chong Hwa High School Kluang as it's one of the school activities to join.

For that price range, I suggest you to get binocular. It can do imaging with some modification.

Just to infrom you that there will be a Moon eclipse this 4 March. It's going to start at 0416.

By the way, last time I accidentally removed the secondary mirror and now I need to do collimation. God bless me!

About RM500 lor... Your 6400 is so powerful... Hey man, help me to find subscribers for streamyx so that I can get more powerful telescope.

Actually 8" is the best scope for this country under this type of atmospheric condition as larger scope will only reveal the lousy atmosphere.

I just found that the seeings these days are really good, the stars don't even shine a bit.

It's not much. I believe you get more than me before~ Hehe~ I haven't done the collimation, exam is coming......

Oh yeah, this time I have sucessfully taken down the photos since the Moon entered penumbra and then the almost full eclipse. I will process the photos tomorrow. I need to adjust the exposure value, some are underexposed that it seems like the eclipse has been there.

March05, do you manage to find sponsors for me?

Viking, your photos are quite good. Did you overexpose the Moons purposely?

You need tripod for sure. I took mine at 420mm (not posted yet).

OMG, he hacked me!
