RM300 is way too low for a true astronomical telescope, blueye. At the minimum, if you want to do basic visual observation (forget about astrophotography at this entry level) be prepared to spend RM1,500++ for one with at least a motor drive for sidereal tracking (to compensate for the earth's rotation).

Get something less than that, I guarantee you, you will lose interest in astronomy out of sheer frustration in no time.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to get a reasonable second hand telescope (except from a friend) because most people will only sell off a used telescope if it is an under performer.

I don't wish to discourage you, but you are only wasting your money if you invest in equipment at too low an entry point. Upgrading a telescope usually means buying a new one with larger aperture and sturdier mount  - you will be replacing almost all your initial investment.

looks like it will be long before i can get one... 

There are other ways to start astronomy as a hobby cheaply. Get a good pair of binoculars, join a club etc.

How about getting some friends together and share the costs? You can hold star parties the whole year round!

BTW, don't forget to shoot this Friday morning's Partial Lunar Eclipse! Can use almost any camera for this event.   

When is the exact time for the partial lunar eclipse? Don't you think that we need a filter ..........

When is the exact time for the partial lunar eclipse? Don't you think that we need a filter to protect the lens of the camera as it's not full eclipse?

... binoculars? which type or zoom power should i get? can i see the surface of the moon? or mars?

... how much does it cost? does any camera mount work?
i just check, it cost about the price of a telescope also... alas...

For Petaling Jaya, the moon should be entering the penumbra at ~12:46 am on 8th September, and the first contact with the umbra at 2:12 am.
Peak is somewhere about 2:56 am, then it's out of the umbra at 3:30am and the eclipse is over at 4:57 am. Shouldn't be much different for Kluang. (Disclaimer: the mentioned times maybe off by a few minutes, too lazy to confirm)

Maybe you can use a neutral density filter, but easier to just reduce the aperture or exposure time.

Let's try to do a sequence from start to finish, like what wKkaY did during the last eclipse in Australia.....

Yup, mine is a 9*63 and it's quite heavy. I seldom use them lately as I prefer to use my telescope. 

Is our time GMT+9 or GMT+8?

does the RM200-300 binos good to see clear?

Can buy from photoshops, supermarket, pasar malam ( ), or specialist shops ( ).

so i should get a >7*>50?  adjustable one better or not good? like something i saw 2.5*24-60

how much is ur uh.. pair telescope (aka binocular 9*62) cost?

does the RM200-300 binos good to see clear? where do everybody get their stargazing gear?

So, the ecllipse is best viewed at 2 in the morning?

My 9*63 is RM420.  Interested to know my telescope price? 

I would say that 7*50 is very good as it's light and quite okay in sight viewing. I get mine from the South East Asia Meade distributor aka Uncle Looi in Petaling Jaya.
