Congratulation to William Chin (Universe24)

Post by perseid »

One of William's photo was published in S&T magazine (Sept 2007 issue) page 90. It was a wide field image taken from Mount Kinabalu showing star field above the cloud top.

Congratulation to William. This is the first astrophotograph taken by Malaysian that I have seen published in the magazine.

I'm green with envy!!! (where is the "green" emoticons?)

I saw it in the magazine. Really amazing and beuatiful photos. Can see the stars but the foreground seems to show daylight/twilight. Very beautiful!

By coincidence I bought the Sep issue today but had not opened the wrapper yet until I saw this thread. Just checked the photo and its unreal man...looks like a painting! I could make out both the crosses...nice.
Congrats William!

Hi all,

Surprised to see a post about the picture appeared in S&T magazine. Thank you all.
To take this photo, we have to climb(walk) 6-8hours from ~2,000meter to 3,233meter above sea level to have the scene shown in the image. You see the landscape like daylight because 1st quarter moon was around. This is very fortunely the moon was there that time when took the picture. By our naked eye, you will see as what you saw at the picture.
