Re: 16 inch dob
I have the GSO 16" truss tube telescope available if you are interested. I have set it up once and go under the night sky once. After that I dismantle it as it eats up tonnes of space. It is much easier to get the full set than building your own scope using ready made optics. You will encounte...

Hi Perseid. Can show some photos of the telescope? Though I will not be able to afford it, but it will be nice to look at the photos and dream about owning one at least. :) It is the same on as seen here except that the one I have is black in colour. http://www.gs-telescope.com/content.asp?id=113 B...

I like the way you maintained the colour of the stars even after processing. Even at F8, your image look fantastic. I am sure the nebulousity will show up very well when you set at F5.6. And you took this in Singapore! If taken somewhere darker, the image will be awesome. I am sure you knew this, bu...

Since my old laptop gone kaput, I used a netbook to do image capturing with DMK camera. I encountered two major problems. 1) Even capturing at 640x480, I cannot view the entire capture window. This is because the netbook screen is only 800x600. Part of the display is already occupied by the software...

Re: My biggest setup
I was not very hopeful that my upgraded Atlas can Handle 12 inch lx 90 ACF and get a good guiding that too using a 70mm toyscope costing 45 sing dollars.

Thank you for all the nice comments. This was my third attempt to image ISS. I found that manual tracking using AZ4 is easier. You need to align the finder scope accurately. During the transit, I only look through the finder scope, taking images as keep the ISS centered in the finder scope. Here is ...

ISS seen from Penang
This morning at 6.01am, I photographed the ISS passed overhead as seen from Penang. I have used Sky-Watchers 180mm Maksutov with 2700mm focal length. The camera used is a modified Canon 350D. Manual tracking using AZ4 mount.
