but yes, I do have one now.
Oh! That was just my wild guess! So you have joined Liuming's league again! No wonder you are so happy!

Hiyah, the person who told you already told me he told you ... HAHA :)

Sadly, it seems like he's getting rid of his XWs ... :) But alas, it's not about league, it's about the enjoyment at the EP. On my C8 at f/10, I couldn't see a big difference when I tried Elton's EP last year. Now on the f/6, the difference is huge!

Hmm... where shall I begin?

Ok, just one thing - test my ultra-portable astrophotography setup.

Hope it works!

Hi,

Hmm... New Toy?? Kenko Skymemo + DSLR with Telephoto lens (or Questar 3.5!!) :P :P :P

Have a nice day.

No lah! My WO 80mm refractor + Orion Starshoot. It's much more portable than my previous setup. However, not sure of the performance of the entire "imaging train"... waiting for clear skies...

Hi,
Should be Vixen Sphinx if I didn't guess wrong.

Hmm... Vixen Sphinx + WO 80mm refractor + Orion Starshoot + NoteBook... You call this "ultra-portable astrophotography setup"?? :P :P

Have a nice day.

I was thinking Sphinx too but once you add that into the equation, I wouldn't call it Ultra-portable. :) I don;t even consider my SVP "ultra" portable. "Portable" maybe .. :)
