Hi,
Seems like first night curse hasn't set in ...
Ha Ha Ha... The new scope curse already start in Tampines already... =P =P The sky suddenly raining like cats and dogs at around 9pm and end at around 10pm and I still can see some stars while it is raining... My conclusion is that the pictures of the WO 10th Anniversary Scope msut be taken during that period of time... hee hee =P =P =P

Have a nice day.

Heh.. actually, in my haste to take the pictures, I used ISO800, which explained the "graniness".

This weekend I'll be in China. Maybe next weekend?

Cheers!

Nice scope!
Andrew, how is the color correction and contrast when you look through it at 160 X.

That's a cool scope... but don't Subaru WRX usually come in blue? :P How does your Zenithstar 66 perform? I maybe considering getting a small, cute APO to be piggyback on my other scope for wide field views. Any suggestions of such that are excellent and not so heavy on the pockets?

Weixing, it seems like tonight is another 'cats & dogs' night, seems like another new scope curse!

Come clean with us and speak the truth: have you got anything to do with the bad weather tonight?
