Actually its not that pricey anymore. You can get a good basic transmitter and pre-assembled plane with LiPo battery, charger all set up for under US$300. (I think really entry level stuff for under 150 can be had, brand new of course) You do need someone who knows these things to make sure all the ...

Hahaha!
Actually if you look carefully there is a student using binos, just not the main subject ( see highlighted area)
Someone didn't vet the photo/description before publishing!

Don't be discouraged by negative commenters! Besides, if he could afford the HST then he wouldn't be at the event! ;)
I couldn't make it but its wonderful to "meet" people willing to volunteer their time and energy for public benefit.

Hahaha! Can do. Alternatively, we can check with rlow about Sedili B. Looks like drive time is about the same (need to route via Kota Tinggi, Sedil is north while Punggai is south). Wondering if the LP is better at Sedil compared to Punggai. I see some streemtlamps in the google earth pics of Sedili...

Any further updates or outings that weekend?
If not, Gary --> I have a car. Want to drive into Punggai for an evening? Say 8th (Gotta work on 10th)

Great shots!
A question from a newbie: How does it work? When you attach a camera to the telescope, are you imaging at the Baby Q's focal length of 450mm (ie 9x mag) or is the power increased by some other eyepieces/magnifier? Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for all the comments and compliments :) Superiorstream: These were taken in April, just never published or shared, until now :) (Also never decided to learn astronomy properly until a few days ago!) Chris: You're right, and I wished I knew about stacking when I went to NZ. I'm into photograph...

Never done Astrophotos before, but the stars in NZ were so gorgeous I just had to try :) 1. Milky Way and Trees (Gary, this is the one you asked me to post :) ) Taken close to midnight standing in the driveway of our farmstay.

The stars are really nice :) The ghost moon is really a secret CIA satellite base...... *grin* Since its inverted, I'm guessing its either a reflection off your protective daylight/UV fliter or from a internal reflection from one of the lens elements (your nikon lens will invariably be made of a col...
