Here is the place for the admins or moderators to do their annoucements. Or, if you have bought a new scope and want the whole world to know, do it here. Basically this is the place for any astro first-hand news.

They told me i must be crazy cause they saw nothing happening..It was so funny, they thought it was clouds or something...:) can't wait for the march 4 one!~ This time, it'll turn red!:)

Ok. Here is the view from Singapore. I had to fight the haze, high clouds, low clouds, light pollution and one persistent mosquito!

The pictures are taken in between my astrophotography sessions using my SonyEricsson K750i Handphone. The other pictures taken from my scope will come later... very sleepy now...

Yes, Boothee is correct. I use the handphone to capture the image from the eyepiece. Sorry for the confusion!
