Re: Digital Recording Binocular (Sony DEV-5K)

Saw this and was trying to find the aperture of the lens. Anyone got that info? Looking at the front of the bino somehow makes me think that it might not be suited for astro use.

You can get it from Sim Lim Tower. Its a shop with alot boxes and tools displayed outside. Turn left after you go down the steps to Sim Lim Tower and walk straight.

Re: Questions from a beginner

Do a google search on "aurora tours". Most of them are in Alaska and some of them are on cruises, there are some in Canada and Iceland as well.

I am also planning to go for one in the future and its in my list of things to do before I die. :D

Re: Help! Customs Duty

You can also say that it is a gift from someone overseas and insist that you do not know the value of the item. Otherwise you can get the merchant to under-invoice you, meaning asking him to invoice you below 400SGD (inclusive of shipping) so that you do not need to pay GST.

Erect Diagonals

Would like to know which is the best erect diagonal (both 1.25 inch and 2 inch) and is it true that erect diagonals have a max useful magnification factor of 100x?

Re: Android 4. Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

The barometric function may be very useful for outdoor astro sessions.
