I think the moon is gonna set around 6.38am sth...

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.

please don't think i'm antisocial, i don't do im, scared i will be glued to the pc the whole day once i start lah. Getting too addicted to LYN already.


Actually only one for me (backup just in case i koyak my present one), the others are ordered by friends who are so impressed by my first one......

CompMac, YOU....SHALL....NOT....RESIST!

By the way, is the cam really really good in quality?

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.

I think I am going to buy one to be used in IM...

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 am going to buy it soon. Anyway, tonigth sky is really clear, many messier objects are able to be spotted by unaided eyes. I am going to do observing later, what about you?

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.

I observed Jupiter as well as other messier objects but I forgot to note them down. I found a problem that the Jupiter and Saturn look yellowish, what's the problem? They are not same as in the photos which are taken by the astronomers.

maybe dust in the upper atmosphere lah.

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

Why not your show it here? Do you know the way to join APGM? I can't find the detail on their site.

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

I thought you recorded it.

I mean I want to join as a member of APGM but the sign-up link is to join Multiply. So, do you have any idea?

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.

Are you the member of APGM? I sent an email to them. What I can do now is waiting for the reply. Normally, what do they do?

thanks Mr.LKM for the reminder PM.
