Dear all, Thanks for all the helpful suggestions. After the posting, I have managed to get some help cleaning out the scope and am very thankful for that. While I really wouldn't mind donating the scope for a good cause, honestly I wouldn't mind either if I can recoop part of the cost of the scope. ...

Dear Singastro Forumers, I have a C8 with a fork mount that I posted up for sale some time ago. It was then I discovered a spot of fungus on the glass, which has since turned off any prospective buyers.

Hi, I should be able to bring down my C8 for the event as well. Didn't really have the chance to seriously use it yet. Will need the experts to assist!

Wow. So am I. Wonder what the shipping cost would be like.
Btw, newbie question here. Is the auto-tracking on the DSX125 good enough for astrophotography?

Dear fellow astronomers, As you can see, I've just joined this forum barely a week ago. So I think a little intro of myself seems in order here. For those who went to Batu Layar recently, I am from the odd group of ladies who, somehow tagged along. Truth is, I knew nothing about this forum, nor am I...
