aiyah Arief ..there is already a 16.1" in Singastro although it is still waiting commissioning...go straight for 18" or 20" lah! Maybe we can all pool together to buy you a ladder when its done!

aiyah bro...the sky is darker ...but definitely not Mersing grade. You won't be interested one la. Afterall JB is quite near to Singapore.
But that's the home I started with a 40 mm refractor 21 years ago. After 21 years the sky is brighter but still better than now here.

Why you never invite us there to ob? We have been doing recce trips looking for a quick nearby ob site in JB and you just keep quiet.... Hmm

Richard, I might trade my 10" for an FS-128. Then sell the FS-128 to acquire the 14.5". I'll do that AFTER I see your 15" structure
