oh man~!
yesterday got to observe at least "something" thru my scope.
manage to get a bright star under my scope but seems to able only to see a dot there...
From my corridor, i point my scope towards the south sky abit to the east... The time was 10+... Wonder what those bright bright stars are?
You know, star cluster, satelite or mayb dense open cluster? Haha~

Just a guess, it could be Canopus if I am not wrong.

I just went to obs the sky... Observed the beautiful Lunar moon...
The problem is the tripod mount... It has causing problem for me this few times i taken my scope out...
I have to adjust hundred times to get moon in my centre of view...
No matter how hard i screw, my scope is drop abit...
The problem lays in my lousy tripod mount or my skills??? Haha

Please advise on this... Thanks everyone in advance
