I second that... really marvelous image(s). The wonder of CCD and the processing skills of Remus. I've seen Remus work few months ago in KL and the first thing comes up to my mind "This guy must be really good at image processing and creative one too"

Continue the good job bro.

Thanks for all the help :) How will Jupiter and Saturn (I haven't got a chance to look at them) look like in a 3 inch telescope? Will they have some features compared to Mars I've seen without features. You can try this Telescope Calculator here. Nice little webpage that help us newbie to visualize...

I'm considering buying from a friend a 20-180x100 sakura bino, but never heard about sakura brand name before. Is it wise to have that kinda big bino with zoom features? In terms of mounting yes i have a good tripod to spare. :)

Sakura brand of Binoculars

Did anyone here in Singastro knows anything about Sakura Binoculars (made in Japan) or better yet have any experience using it, in terms of quality for astronomy purposes?
