Re: Comparison between 102achro, ed100apo, mak127 SkyWatcher
interesting.. I had a different experience. The ED100 f/9 doublet have such good views of jupiter/saturn and moon that I was tempted to upgrade to sw120ed. but I havent tried the 5mm bundled eyepiece. I use a 10mm UFF or celestron 8-24mm zoom most of the time and with them the views are excellent.

Re: Eyepieces from binoculars and modification.
very interesting.. are these eyepieces as sharp as the ones designed for telescopes. I see a good number of posts using microscope objesctives in telescopes (with some 23.5mm to 1.25mm adapter), but a binocular eyepiece is definitely new for me.

Re: Skywatcher EQ-AL55 Mount
I agree with frqaf_bfds, now most mount manufacturers provide a low altitude option. Ioptron has number of mounts that can be used at equator. Likewise most of the newer strain wave mounts like zwo also support low latitude ooerations

Re: AsiAir Alternative: Mini Windows PC
This is interesting. I used a standard raspberry li4 for stellarmate but always wished if it would have more power ports. This mini pc not only has USB ports but also has power out ports which is handy for building a portable rig.

Re: How do Dobs/Newtonians fare in singapore light polluted skies
thank you Richard.. I guess my next step is to post a WTB ad in classified section. One more question the skywatcher sells newts under different names.. Would it be correct to say that the quattro is meant for AP and not that much benefit for visual.
