Hey everyone!
I am very very noob in astronomy although I have read up a bit on what is out there in general.
Hope to join you guys for the next outing to places like Mersing if possible

Hi barffie!
Nice to have you in SINGASTRO! Do check out the site, wiki pages, visit the bookstores for ASTRONOMY, ASTRONOMY NOW and SKY&TELESCOPE. Astronomy is one helluva interesting (but can be addictive) hobby! lol

Yeah the Mersing ones are really appealing because I remember how the sky looked at Tioman...

There are many trips to Mersing these days but the other places are good too. if you want to go quickly, I think rlow goes into Sedlili Besar almost every week. Welcome to singastro!
