yea..the sky there should be clearer than kl..
Since i have the cable release i take all slow-shutter speed with the
release cable to prevent shake.film SLR so dont have any anti-shake lor..
Depend on wat pic u want to take if taking some long exposure astrophoto
dont think that cable release is a must. But if taking moon pics maybe
better if u have one..DLSR maybe no need at all..they got the IS.
err..can be a good excuse arr?

haha..completely forgot bout tat! yaya u will need it to lock the shutter..
but tot last time u took for 5hrs? u SLR have the shutter lock up function?

yaya..dont go for EX S500..go for DSLR..

actually tat question is for TheVoIP..sorry to make u misunderstand..
yea..u should buy depends on ur need. no point buying without good
reason rite?..but if u double ur budget can get DLSR olredi wat.dont think about
tat 5d lar.. low-end DSLR can also..
just joking lar..forget my words arr..

i see u prefer compact digicam so go lar for it..
unless u can accept bit bulky digicam than can recommend u other
better model..

no lar..ignore me ok..
but maybe u wanna get one with more zoom capability
so u can shoot moon's pics..

yeap..better get one much easier..
last time i shot star trail was alone at about 2am..
so not dare to go far from main road and stay inside my car..
atleast u got ur DSLR..i dont even have a digicam..
can only shoot with my dvcam for digital photo..
if can get used DSLR like tat would be nice..
well guess i dont have much choice but to wait cheaper
KM 7D or KM 5D to fall in my hand

well..my 1st slr was minolta..sold and then bought minolta slr also..
dont see i can change to other cause got many minolta's lens,telecon,flash,etc...
dont have budget to buy new lens so wat else i can do? cheapest way
is to buy KM DSLR lorr..buy the body only..
Good thing KM DSLR anti-shake is in it's body..so can use any minolta lens..

so u've bought the z750.Can start ur gallery lor after tis.
cant find the andromeda lor..u should circle it. even we can see
the andromeda with our naked eyes..normal ppl like me
just dunno..

Money??
Me got no money lar..banker freezed all cash flow..
Cant spend anymore until further notice..

Thanks for the explaination.
Btw this is the andromeda's picture using small telescope.
no need to use HST to take this

whois Robert Gendler?
i think can..tis M1 galaxy is one of the nearest to us so
maybe 400-600 focal length can get near tis.maybe not as big as the pic thou.
btw tis one below is the same M1 taken using 200mm telephoto lens.


yea concentrate on ur study.don play2 arr..
now I'm thinking to buy the equatorial gadget only..
thinking to do guided astrophoto without telescope..use my telephoto lens
first. cheaper than buying telescope + equatorial..
but dunno when..

Nice to have u here Choostar..

Mr.LKM....we definitely need the equatorial to do astrophoto
and altaz mount alone cant do the job..
and telephoto is needed or not depends on your astrophoto field..
if you want to take galaxies, wide angle astrophoto then no need telescope..
as i told here before..normal lens, 200mm-400mm telephoto lens can do this job.
But a 200mm lens with f2.8 will cost u as expensive as telescope.
and i think this telephoto lens actually do better job than normal telescope.
But if you think to shoot mars, moon etc than a telescope with longer focal length
is needed.because u will need 700mm above focal length(as long as u can afford)
to take nice mars pics and no telephoto lens can cover this focal length.(except some
order made telephoto lens that will cost u a double storey house in klang valley area)
correct me if I'm wrong Choostar

March05 wont be able to do close up of the moon. His DC got only 3x opt. zoom.
The longest shutter speed will be 60s' rite March? So maybe you can take normal/wide angle shot of the moon..

I red somewhere also bout the meade's ETX series but the good thing is its
lightweight.For longer astrophoto will need a very good equatorial i think.
warr..so u are ready to buy your telescope
mountain climbing?

yelorr..I only told this morning by my friend..but luckily i took
some shot of the moon last night. and notice that the right side of the
moon is a bit dark..will post later..
BTW nice moon shot there March

My shot of the moon..without realizing its an eclipse


2014-2015

2016-2017

Full Moon

yeap..actually my purpose was to test shooting moon using
manual.try to find the good setting. luckily did the test during
the eclipse time around 8:15..found out this morning i
accidently shot the eclipse

sorry to hear that Was shooting at the carporch of my house..

wow me absence for few days u'll making a complot arr
i'll be waiting with all my equipment
Nice pics me dont have time to do any editing

not fair arr..mine is dv..u'll got digicam ..err..film SLR can count or not?

Haha..good news for u guys all my frens retired olredi..me now lone ranger

Maybe yes maybe not i'll say yes when i found it..
