Wanna make a scope? Or better still, grind a mirror yourself. Or, you have some good tips in making a really useful accessory? This is the place to show what your hands can do...

This weekend... we have a trip to Sedili. If you would like me to bring the mount & tripod as discussed earlier, perhaps we can meet this Sunday evening and catch the occultation together.

Will be mounting it on a CG-5 Goto [thanks to Swimaniac] with my home-made pier.

Looking at your photos, it seems that you need to apply for a licence, Sarjeet. Otherwise without a permit you may incur a heavy fine. Refer to today's Straits Times - front page of Home section.
