Hi Danny,
You the man! Thanks for the food and greeting pair of great dogs. Rich should have included them for pics.
It was a good evening, i manage to sell to roma a c4r and complement him with a bino.
Also i also sold to richard a 1RPD,
the best deal i think is a $600 new celestron goto mount (now needed repair) from shoelevy to roma. Albert will be busy again...

aiya....dun say already la....its SOOOOo sway...working fine for 5mins when testing then suddenly...*dead*

tell you all whole story:
i went astro sci to buy in april last yr. i bring home within 1st week only ...bust! make my dad rush me to astro sci to get it fixed...
after fixed...never used it ever since cos either bad weather or NS take up too much time (imagine 9 exercises, 6 of which major battalion level and above and 1 division exercise in just 6 mths!)
then finally the mount gets to see daylight again when i brought it down to the lelong...then what happen?...BUST!...SAME problem as the previous time...somemore so heng...bust AFTER warranty over...DAMN sway...so much for supporting local stuff

paiseh to roma also for making him wait...and paiseh to DAnny!!!....because of having to demonstrate the machine, i had to take apart his speaker appliance to salvage a fuse...then forgot to return it to him!

i really cursed when it comes to this hobby...for those who know of my c8 story...you will know once again know what i mean

wonder whether his speaker can use or not :)

i pm u better
oxygn...you don't wanna know how much i paid...if you're looking to buy the mount...don't look at sci centre...not worth your time/money for that matter cos your eyeballs will drop out after you see the price.
can get you 350D dslr

Shoelevy,

I have a colleague with a similar problem. The electronic stuff he gets tend to breakdown easily. He claims it is his high 'static electricity'.

If you have the same problem, maybe you should just stick to a dob!
