OK now I'm not so worried. Thanks guys

Hi all,

Beginner question here - I was looking at the moon just now with my binoculars. Away to the South, I saw lots of lightning. I was wondering if I accidentally saw the lightning through the binos, would it damage my eye?

Very nice! Thank you!! I now know that the cluster of stars that I saw the other day was the Southern Plaides. And when I looked a little vertically upwards, I saw a small cloud-like 'thingy'.

However, I have a newbie question - the binoculars shake a lot. Is it because of the binoculars or my lack of strength? It doesn't look like these bin...

Once again, thanks for the warm welcome. Yeah, waiting for a sidewalk astronomy event. I see there's one in Bishan park this Saturday, but sadly I won't be in town. Meanwhile, I still don't see my other posts appearing. Do I consider them "not worthy" or "in process"? :) Just che...

ah! so it's not just me

Thanks for the welcome guys. I just searched on google for a Singaporean e-group interested in astronomy and found you guys
