Re: WTS : Celestron CG-5 complete mount $100

Sorry for the frustration. But I received more SMS messages than I can count.
You should know the Celestron Tank battery needs a new battery cell.
The rest of the set should work fine.

Re: Where in Malaysia has clear dark skies?

I'm actually very disappointed with myself.

If I get a Villa in northern Johor, then install an observatory on the roof, every amature astronomer in Singapore will want to be my friend.
I'll just have to provide the drinks..

Re: Where in Malaysia has clear dark skies?

Thanks for the posts!. So I guess it's not just me that thinks there is some cloud hanging over Singapore - only leaving long enough for someone needing lady luck. Anyway, it seems Mersing and Sedili have less haze and less LP. I'll look for the examples of objects found in Singapore. I have a C8 &a...

Sorry for any negitive comments, but I wasn't able to see the milky way galaxy or m31 with ANY size optics. Even when I try to get away from the light polution, there seems to be some haze t...

Re: Off collimation Skymaster 15x70 bino?

It's possible to fix. I had a pair that was way off. You need to remove the rubber around the middle (where the prizm is). Then you find two screws. ONLY adjust one side of the binos so you don't screw up both sides - this isn't ideal, but it does keep things from getting worse. Then check at night ...

Re: Dry Cabinet

Telescope cover.

Hi all.

Where can I find a cover for a telescope? Something like a garbage bag big enough to cover a 8" dob?
(Anything?)
I don't know where to start looking.

thanks!
and Happy New Year!
