The Earth's atmosphere will be screwed should an X-Class or M-Class solar flare is able to reach Malaysia. QUOTE(March05 @ Oct 18 2005, 04:58 PM) maybe just one tiny one? BTW have u tried NASA's World Wind? I think one of the earlier beta versions showed that that there was a great aurora event which roamed as far down South as Malaysia some years back! Don't know whether the current version also shows this occurence. I was quite surprised when i saw the simulation. Maybe a tiny tiny one should have minimal effects. Even if it does happen, most major cities here will be too polluted to see it.

CompMac, we plot to get deepyu one of these days, ok? No problem. Just bring some honey and salt. I'll know what to do with it when we 'fetched' him. QUOTE(Mr.LKM @ Oct 18 2005, 08:26 PM) Hey guys, tell you all a secret! The best place for celestial observation! CHILE, don't tell anybody else or the place will get polluted Here is the pic! I think that's where the Arecibo Radio Observatory is located. The dish where SETI information is collected. Deep inside the jungle lies the biggest satellite dish in the world.

QUOTE(Enferno @ Apr 11 2006, 05:54 PM) jus the pure digicam alone..currently plan to buy conon A700.. so is this model able to take astro pic... how to know how long is a digicam maximum exposure? If you mean taking pics of the starry skies as astro pic, then your A700 should be able to. However, anything further than that and you will need a telescope.
