Just back from the Maldives. Moderate clear sky, milkyway visible, however obervation is difficult though, due to the strong wind. In the end gave up observing thru my ETX125. Instead uses my 20x80 Bino to look at stars around the milkyway. Till now, still got difficulty identifying the constellation :oops: (except for Orion which is easy, which is still not up yet). Still learning.....Kekeke.....

To CheeChien, promise you some trip report on Maldives
