Thanks for sharing, Remus.
Kahang looks like an interesting place. I just got back from overseas during that period, so internal clocks was realigning but I managed to catch Orion, Canis Major and Minor from the aircraft window at 11,300m up! :0

I think mosquitoes would be a problem at night with so much water present?
The obs area looks good though. Less likely to be molested by cows or struck by coconut bombs..

Hi Guys. Nice photos. Thanks for sharing! Rabbits ... so cuuuuute! LOL :)

@Remus: I like the Lotus shot. Very zen.

For those who can't find the "Download Hi-Res" link at Remus's gallery webpage, you have to click on the "Show Caption" link first at the bottom righthand corner.

@Shirox: I have cropped and photoshoped your wide-field shot. Hope you and fellow forum members will like it. :)
