The one who wrote this is obviously not into astronomy. Who wants a clearly lit sky???

Hi,
The group photo seem like a poster for some police drama... ha ha ha

Hmm... Just wonder is the photo taken in Singapore??? Look at the latitude setting of the GP mount.... Also, seem like both EQ mount was polar align at different direction... May be the EQ mounts were not in operation mode, but in posing mode.... ha ha ha

Have a nice day.

Yes, obviously they striked a really nice pose for the article. Operation mode would not be in a carpark with the bright lamp-post in the background.

I guess they pose at the carpark beside the Eunos MRT or at the carpark beside the mosque in Eunos. It is a great advertisement..sort of like cool guys with their scopes (or perhaps most of them is Remus's.

) and very professional. Maybe we will see a jump in membership in Singastro.
