Hi,croys
Yes,yesterday night was a good one.Cloudless from 8pm till 2am--next day--fast condensation makes cloudy sky for 1/2 hr--then at 2:45 clear again till 4:30 am when a haze render the sky useless for obs.Really enjoy it; but have to forgo solar obs early morning.Too tired.Thanks.

From what I know, the bb passwords are MD5 hashed, so they will not be able to get anything useful from it. But I cannot say anything for the email address that they can harvest from the attack.

Don't worry buddy, those guys are not coming back -this website is quite secure nothing much to steal anyway.With Email address I suppose they can only send spam, probably work of some fellows nothing better to do [smilie=sigh.gif]

Thanks Croy. The site is ok again. I guess either Chee Chien or Weixing was online and cleared it up minutes after you posted your concern.
Thanks all! [smilie=bye.gif]
