Re: Orion's Belt and Neighboring Nebulae
Actually I just processed another stack of 17x 3min Ha images taken also from last Nov with the same setup, enjoy!
I guess the lack of clear skies can help improve one's processing skills somewhat haha!

Re: Orion's Belt and Neighboring Nebulae
Ooops seems like the link expired, could you check if it works now? Here's an old Ha image of M42 I tool last year with the ASI1600MM, with improved processing to further enhance the nebulosity. Total exposure: 43 x 2min William Optics GT71 with ASI1600MM, Optolong 7nm H alpha filter https://lh3.goo...

Re: Mars Opposition 2020
Finally managed to capture well over 1h of mono videos of Mars last night when the skies were finally clear enough for some high-resolution planetary imaging. Although Mars is already a few days past opposition and almost 2 weeks past its closest approach to Earth, I am still quite satisfied with t...

WIP: M16 Eagle Nebula
This is my first attempt at long exposure astrophotography using the C8 EdgeHD with the 0.7x reducer/flattener on a bright emission nebula target. I have to say that while the single 5 min H-alpha sub really blew me away, I had evidently some trouble with differential flexure at this high focal leng...

For the climate of Singapore you can refer to this excellent introduction: http://www.weather.gov.sg/climate-climate-of-singapore/ It does depend on the time of year as the monsoon winds reverse, the inter-tropical convergence zone (ITCZ) migrate north and south of Singapore. In addition you need to...
