I will be visiting Hong Kong in October 2012, and I'm wondering whether HK has any astro-related things I should see or do. I know that HK has a Space Museum.

For example, are there any good telescope shops? Planetariums? Observatories? Regularly-held star parties? Is the Science Center worth a visit? I v...

I recently purchased a Vixen FL102S fluorite doublet refractor, and I am curious as to whether Vixen telescopes, and the FL102s in particular, are popular in Asia and, in particular, Singapore. Vixen telescopes are relatively rare in the United States.

Thank you.
