Hi Azri! Welcome to Singastro. I do believe you are the first Bruneian here! Hope to see you in one of our events in Singapore one day.

ya azri, let we both go join their mersing trip next time.... fly myy-jb airasia... hang on... may be we have pretty good dark sky sites nearer here ... but the haze this couple of weeks very bad lah.... and where i'm, the sunsets are very good that normally means humidity high, seeing not very good and cloud cover average quite high... i think same for seria side. don't know about bsb, but kk side clear sky average very good.

Thank you ACC... *waves all the way to Singapore* :)

Heheh... sounds tempting kingkong! When the skies are clear with time and energy permitting, I drive 40 km away from BSB to dark skies. It's not bad! Maybe in the future we'll have a small get together for us in Borneo :)
