Yep... he even reported his first impression, saying he would post pics and we have yet to see any photo. Yesterday he said he may consider to sell it away... maybe the weather will then improve...
i think now he's more interested with video observation on a tracking mount using a medium aperture scope.
wei, dun hint hint here, hint hint there hor...

Anyway, I know what is best to do during this haze. Take a green laser and point. Wah the beam is like as if you are at mersing...super clear green beam.

Yup this is the first time that I saw that the sun looks quite oval and red. I was able to look at it in the afternoon as the haze was a natural red filter!
