HI Hannah, You need to be specific on what slo-mo knob you have lost... Is it the all time favourite Manfrotto 410? Or the one on an equatorial mount. If its the latter, you can check with Samuel from Harlequin Astronomics. For the former, its going to be difficult as Manfrotto does not manufacture ...

I have a favourite technique for using these charts here but you must be able to identify a few constellations as a guide. Eg, Summer Triangle and Orion. As we are at the equator, Polaris is always at the horizon. So locate the star on your chart, place a ruler on it. Using Polaris as a pivot, rotat...

For those who read Astronomy and Sky&Telescope, the latest issue is out and the former is giving a COSMOS poster free... Articles are still Mars-centric and I do not expect it to stop even though Mars is moving futher away as a number of international probes are expected to arrive at Mars in Dec...

Hrrm, from the excellent java applet u created...i predict we'll have great skies for the next 2 days! Maybe we should hold a competition here to find out who's more accurate in predicting the weather.

Hi Sam, Actually Galaxy Quest is a comedy with Tim Allen and a group of sci fi actors kidnapped by aliens to fight their evil overlord. Sort of like the 3 Amigoes in Space! That's right ! That's the name of that guy I was talking about. Tim Allen. Yup, I remember now, they were all actors in some s...

Wow!! Great so we'll meet at Demsey road and it means that i can see lots of different scope! :) What time usually you guys meet there because sunday morning i have to go Malaysia. If sky is clear, normally we will stay very late, say 3am, while others may stay overnight. But if you need to go to M...

Had fun too. But that was several nights ago. Was focusing blind as it appeared far too small for my lcd to focus. Here're my lesser than average shots. http://sg.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/amp91363 Hi, What scope are you using? I noticed some colour fringing which should not happen unless you use a lo...

That's the happening around the astro corner, isn't it. Just also recently, I found that StarHub seems to be shutting down their mobile service now and then. The same thing happen to others that are using Starhub mobile service. Its seems that this only happen at midnight. Is this because they are ...
