This photo was taken nearly a month ago. June has been really cloudy so I didn’t get any pics

Hi all, I was thinking of buying am Orion Min Eq mount for some astrophotography. The Skywatcher and Polarie is slightly off my budget for now, and I would like a temporary solution. I heard that it is pretty good for wide angle shots, but has anyone tried doing deep sky with it? I am planning to pa...

Some older posts from Singastro also seem to include this site, and the photos are pretty...

Hi all, I will be heading to Desaru around late May or early June. I am willing to travel a bit (15-20km) to get the best skies around the area, even though I know it is still pretty bright.
