Hello Folks, Just back from the Maldives. Moderate clear sky, milkyway visible, however obervation is difficult though, due to the strong wind. In the end gave up observing thru my ETX125. Instead uses my 20x80 Bino to look at stars around the milkyway. Till now, still got difficulty identifying the...

Just got back yesterday! Super Beautiful Skys, can see the milky way with your naked eye streching from horizon to horizon and it really can cast your shadow on the ground!

Got a wild ideas to suggest.... since it's such a wonderful scope and VinSnr is rather upset about the scope leaving Singapore, why don't we Singastro members chip in some money, everyone, buy it from CC and let the scope stays as a Singastro property? :D Then CC must give some discount also lah.. :...
