Hey guys, anyone care to share with me a good place to just stare into the night skies filled with stars in kl area or selangor?

try again next 3-4 months.

now not the right time.

go watch movie with your gugurl better.

i also had intrest few years back...but not enough contacts...

Broga hill past semenyih.

Quiet place.

Can do whatever you want there.

Me usuually near kuala selangor and sungai semilang.
Not really good place but still peace of mind not much worry my telescope kena tapau by indon strangers.

lot other place has good sky but not really good for telescope deployment since got warm air or safety issue.

if outside selangor i would recommend bukit tinggi.

bukit ampang

now cannot star gaze

only can haze gaze

broga hill is good but if you bring 10k telescope like me safety is concern.

With the haze that's going on right now, I wouldn't recommend star gazing.

If it clears up and the skies are clear, you should equip yourself with a good binoculars ( try Celestron's 7 X 50 ) or a telescope ( refractor/reflecting) depending on your interest. Avoid supermarket telescopes, they suck. You can purchase them from stores which specialise in these stuff, I ordered mine online. Penang has some good places to buy these stuff, you should look out for them.

A fellow hobbyist! What scope do you use?

/ktard, can bring 10k telescope, can't spend RM 200 hire security for the night.

Besides, nobody knows it's 10k telescope unless you go brag about it.

"Check out mah 10k telescope babeh. Can see light in black hole, blablablablablabla technical shit."


And if you brag about it until bangla nearby can hear you kinda deserve to get robbed. Go back to your gated community in tropicana pls.


/kolos

other time different constellation already.

like in july you already cant see orion.

so maybe he need to go to high hill like cameron or genting

currently it is bad for health to expose outside.

hahaaha after reading all the comments, i came up with one conclusion

Its too hazy at the moment to even bother bout star gazing OH WELL.

hahaha. but thank you for your feedback guys!

Vixen ED103S.

but in coming week will change to the Meade Series 6000 115mm triple apo when it arrives. quite worried how much the tax will turn out to be haha.

both using (and will use) manual GE mount. not a goto fan.

yeah im a refractive and manual purist


seriously jus like camera lens you can already know the value of telescope by its size, aperture and type of mount used.

Wow, I see. Never knew a Malaysian would be so into amateur astronomy.

I still prefer deep sky objects so I'm more into large reflectors and stuff, though planets may not be as crisp as seen with your high end refractors.

Honestly, I can't even differentiate if a girl's bag is expensive or cheapo.

Likewise, most banglas are not into amateur stargazing, so they won't recognize your gear unless you lansi.

On the other hand, whysoserious.png?

tis /k

got haze... stay in ur room and use Star Gazing apps with ur semakphone..

kalau navel gazing i know a few good places

I think got quite of ppl from MNS also. and they have really good equips.
actualy i love the power and price of reflects but they are akward to use . feel so strange plus i can't sit while observing.
tried for a month borrow from friend. still cant get used to.

I disagree, i went there to stargaze a few weeks back and let me tell ya, its shitty as fark..
at least hundreds of jakuns at 2-3AM in the farking morning making noise, shouting , showing off the flashlights..i decided to never ever go back there ever again,
one of the best place was gunung bunga buah behind hotel sri malaysia genting, about 4 hours of exhausting climb, the view at night is breathtaking and not one soul was there except me and a few of my homies sitting and barbecuing..

I went during weekdays. Only got Nottingham students there.

YMMV

Sound like damn fun bro. Except for the 4 hours of exhausting climb part. Wouldn't want my girlfriend to suffer climbing up. hahaha.

Its amazing, safe to say one of the best experience ever, the climb is 4 hours but if you climb slowly, take breaks..it should take about 5-6 hours but its worth it
Temperature there is gets real cold, at the peak is a great view of both kl in the far and also genting highlands, its awesome to just chill there with a couple of friends at the peak, fire and bbq in the middle..damn syiok

this is a pic i snap about 6am before sunrise
