I registered with them but am having second thoughts after reading of dissatisfied customers or customerstobe.

It is really unfortunate. I remember in 2004 we could do so much at Bedok, Dempsey.

Can we still do that in 2008?

Yup, start with a pair of binos. Join the star parties/observations. Start reading and learning your way in the sky first.

I suppose it would be good for general use

After this trip, I am more prepared to come ready. Always come with experience.

I am guilty too.

problem is that the sky's not encouraging interest, at least for me. AFAIK, the sky for the past half year was rotten in my part of the sky. Yes, 7 July was clear at 11am. But I was jogging..so missed it.

When clear skies returns, I am sure interest can be rekindled.

I believe it is not ground to the required precision. i.e. you will not get sharp images of pin points. Also, the optics would not be coated to remove chromatic aberrations. Many years ago, I used spectacle lens as objective. I experienced horrible CA.

Hey Rich,

I suppose the CSN was not activated. I would be interested too. It has been awhile since I last saw clear skies.

Cheers!

Without talking about UFOs, I wonder too.
