Title: Poor-Man Astronomy philosophy...... Post by: kamayok3 on February 01, 2007, 12:39:16 PM Hi all,
Yesterday when I read the book written by Robert Reeves, he did mention something that maybe can guide you guys into the world of astronomy/astrophotography. This statement also made me re-think of something... " It must be realized that any new skills takes time to master. Simply spending money to buy fancy equipment does not automatically guarantee success. One must learn how to use that equipment effectively for the project one is doing. " by Robert Reeves And the other statements also maybe benefiting everybody or new comers in astronomy. " I’ve learned that size or aperture is not the most important aspect; it’s the intention of the user that matters! Even a small scope can deliver, but the observer must be prepared to sacrifice some time and effort.. " by Fred Hissink What do you all think? This might be a good point of thinking before you steps into the real world of astronomy. For my opinions, not everybody can afford to buy all fancy stuffs... Let think about it again...and again!! Learning is forever. No hurt feeling..... :wink: Regards, Tommy Title: Re: Poor-Man Astronomy philosophy......

No hurt feeling..... :wink: Regards, Tommy Seperti yang pernah saya bincangkan dulu-dulu, yang paling penting sebelum kita membeli teleskop ialah pastikan apa sebenarnya yang kita minat untuk cerap. Adakah matahari, bulan dan planet menjadi target utama? adalah gugusan bintang? nebula? galaksi? jaluran bima sakti? Kemudian barulah kita lihat teleskop yang paling sesuai... Namun begitu, di zaman sekarang ni, ramai yang banyak duit, jadi berkemampuan untuk beli teleskop walaupun belum ada pengetahuan yang mencukupi. Maka ramai yang terperangkap , tak tahu nak cerap apa dengan teleskop yang ada... Title: Re: Poor-Man Astronomy philosophy......
