Yeah, quite a few doctors here in singastro. But they specialise in different things though. However there is something common among them....they are all tinkerers, always like to modify this and that.
Pressure....think I should go back study.....

It's good that the doctors like to tinker ... I hope they don't tinker too much with their patients though ... HAHA ...
Doc, can you modify my shoulders so I lift a heavier mount?
(Pick any SingAstro doctor here): Sure, let me check "MedicMart" and see if anyone has a used WeightLifter shoulder ... might be able to fit your asian size if I drill a few holes here and there ... Or maybe you wanna get a custom one from Swayze-Hopkins? He normally doesn't sell to non-builders but being from SingAstro, I can get a deal if 4 more people wanna buy those custom shoulders ....

Ya, sure! Definitely run into problems with VPOST. Your order may just get mixed up with spare shoulders meant for the little old ladies in the retirement home!jermng wrote: (Pick any SingAstro doctor here): Sure, let me check "MedicMart" and see if anyone has a used WeightLifter shoulder ... might be able to fit your asian size if I drill a few holes here and there ...

Oh please don't get me started on Vpost!! My mount is supposed to arrive today (7 days from payment) but still no sign of it, no letter or anything ... We've got lot's of doctors, but anyone working in SingPost??

Last time in 2001, when i first bought my 6inch newtonian, i was shocked at how heavy everything was. (telescope+ german eq mount + counterweights). Back then, u can see a siao kia(me) carrying different parts of the full setup, with slow increments until eventually everything on, walking around the stadium track on weekends.
