No scam...just that singapore is too bright (man-made lights), last night was slightly cloudy too. wait a while and search the internet from news from other parts of the world...
Sg just isnt suitable for stargazing/astronomy as a hobby...thats why i gave up and switched to photography
Well, you do do both too! Airconvent, Weixing and myself, including other lurking astro guys are having fun doing both!
At least now I know what you did with the money you got from selling your astro gear!
Tachyon..! long time no see...i still have a LOMO Astele class maksutov that im trying to sell off..but no buyers..sad.
Anyway for meteor enthusiasts...the next one will be in Dec 12-14th 2009, The Geminids Shower. The moon is in waxing phase (chu 26 and 27) so the light from the moon once again is not interfering much.

Hi antares, thanks for the info on Geminids.
Mind giving pointers on where to look for it eg: direction NW, NE?
singastro.org is down for the moment for me to more research related locally for observation. Hope you can help on this.
Poor thing for those who stayed awake overnight. Should have had a good sleep and wake up at 5am to catch all the action.
Not really. By 5, all will miss the most beautiful trail of all.
It just take one to make the night worthwhile...
is the one with green trail meteor? taken at 5:45am in Japanese garden
Nope... The one i mentioned happen before 4am or around that time when i was setting up my tripod...
However, this is a beautiful picture you got there...
:thumbsup:
Video recorder with motion detector, the blogger is Y. K. Chia.
IR cam is good for deep sky objects, I am not sure whether it is suitable
for meteors photos or not
He is a CS too?
Just saw his DIY setup here
I am intrigued by his simple setup... too bad too many light pollution outside my windows...
after browsing through my 300++ photos i took yesterday :sweat:, i found this one!

Good try in Singapore light polluted and cloudy sky.

I am not sure Y. K. Chia is clunsnapper or not. Singastrorian Tachyon, Weixing may know.
Most CSers attitude are to take photo whenever possible ... I believe they were enjoying the moments too.
lol yea
Was planning to but in the end didn't. Any shot I'd take would be crappy anyway
Not true. You don't need a telescopic lens to capture a meteor shower. In fact, it will be harder to take a meteor shower using a telescopic lens. Honestly, Singapore is not suitable for long exposures for astrophotography. But if you do want to try, I believe the Geminids shower shall be a better show, if the sky is not overcast...
