NGC 6188 in SHO

This year's summer season hasn't been particularly great weather-wise for Singapore. But there were a couple of good nights, and perhaps another handful of average nights which were still acceptable for imaging. Here's NGC 6188 and NGC 6164-5, the first of this year's summer objects from my window. ...

Re: Looking for an upgrade

Re: Looking for an upgrade

Hi, It would be helpful if you could share what objects you'd prefer looking at. For example, if you're mostly interested in planets, a Mak (or any long focal length scope) would do better than a Newt of the same aperture. In most cases, you'd also want to get more aperture. The NexStar 4se falls sh...

Re: Window Astrophotography 2019

Here's one of my first attempts at galaxy imaging from my window. Unlike narrowband images, I am facing the full force of Singapore's light pollution in this case. As such, this is not a fantastic image by any long shot, but you can see most of the brighter parts of the structure. So here's Centauru...
