See page 72 in July 2009 Sky & Telescope magazine. I am not letting the cat out of the bag yet. I know that someone will recall this guy.

Wow! I'm impressed!

Hi,
I don't have the mag, but I saw the photo of the mag's content page in S&T website.

Although he look quite a bit different (better hairstyle??) in the mag, but I think he is our dear, super on Mr Mersing man (or used to be :P )... Matthew (MCYM). Long time never met him after he finish his Messier objects astrophotography project.

So now his on supernovae hunting??

Have a nice day.

I am surprised no one remembers him. He was an ex-singastro member. Take a look at this posting and his other posting in singastro. He has taken many nice images from Singapore.

He was from Miri. Then due to his job, he was sent to Singapore for maybe a couple of years before transferred to Perth where he currently resides. Since then he stopped posting in singastro.

Here is a scanned image of the S&T mag. Thanks to my friend, Shah for the image.

I never met TG before, but I admired his work. But I met Matthew before.
He is another long lost Singastro member. I am wondering where he is now. Maybe Kochu can shed some light?
