Oh man.... I believe I was the first guy to bring a Portaball into SGP more than a decade back. Back then, it wasn't easy to figure out shipping and freight forwarding to bring this to SGP. It comes in a big drum barrel, and you can't go through a normal courier for that. Pete was always there suppo...

Just watched this at Shaw Lido IMAX 3D. Absolutely amazing! Will be good if nobody reveal spoilers. Other than the official trailer to convince you how good the visuals are, don't go and read up too much about this movie. It will spoil the fun for you. Yes, IMAX 3D ticket is expensive. But if you r...

This must be the most awesome 3D movie I have ever seen so far. Gravity is simply brilliant in its camerawork and visual efffects, you will feel right there in space! make sure you watch it 3D, and IMAX if possible. Then sit back and be awe by space, but at the same time fearful of the solitude and ...

The 15" UC Obsession this is probably a very nice dob not too big and so simple to setup. have to get a chance to peek into an obession at least once... [smilie=admire2.gif] My biggest problem with the UC design (and the Hubble Optics Compact) is that the secondary mirror is located outside of...

was this bought directly from skywatcher?

how much is the $$ for the shipping?

Nice..well guess we have to deal with the kind of weather we are dealt with.. I find it abit strange that as the light pollution worsens in sg, more schools , institutions have observatories built, kind of defeats the purpose? So we must not rely on schools and institutions alone to promote astrono...

I was in Dubai 3 years ago, the desert environment really makes it great for astronomy.

And the people there are buying Ferraris like buying toys.

Perhaps should get hold of Mr. Hasan and ask him to buy some land in Spore and make it only for astro use??

Dave,

Those are great photos! How many minutes were the exposure of those photos? And what is the AP setup that you use?

For a 4.7kg mount head, that is pretty impressive.

Anyone here has tried the Ioptron ZEQ25GT mount? https://www.ioptron.com/images/up/ZEQ25_2013.jpg Saw many good reviews on the tracking accuracy and most importantly, this is probably the first mount I heard that is design for 0 degrees latitude, so no pier is needed. The mount head weighs only 4.7k...
