Hey guys, I dunno if this belongs here but i happen to chance upon this site with podcasts by Daniel McCormick. It has pretty comprehensive topics which are really good for beginners, like me!! :) Click here: Backyard Astronomy I believe there's a book with the same name right?? not sure :? anw enjo...

how to get there?

geminids meteor shower is arnd the corner but this early? maybe not. could be something else...but what? :?

any chance of an ob session for the coming Geminids meteor shower? I read somewhere it's gonna peak during dec 13th, 14th.

yupz...noted. Guess it goes for anything new n fresh...let's just say im having "star fever" right now...haha

hmm since my budget is tight i guess my next best course of action is to just meet up some of u guys during ur sessions and check things out, while waiting out a few more paychecks down the months before getting my first real serious scope. lolx.

thanks acc, menglee for your valuable advice.

wow, i've checked out astrobargains site....
watever they have in stock...prices....astronomical...doesn't seem much of a bargain for a low-income worker like me lol...

time to roll out my piggies....

hi acc,

yupz i do check out the BnS daily...so far i didnt hit on any that appeals to me. Though im a beginner, i would really like an entry-level scope that does the job well, not just a "make do bcos it's cheap" model.

Anyway thanks for the advice! I will keep my eyes peeled.
