Welcome to my astronomy blog, I dedicate myself to the simplest form of amateur astronomy which requires only portable equipment. I have two small refractors, two small binoculars, one small GOTO mount and another small equatorial mount, and a small H-alpha solar filter. Originally from a city where the people were proud of their light pollution, that is Hong Kong where I loved. Relocated to the UK since 2021.

Plenty of sunshine these days, and the sun is pretty active too. Seeing becomes a little bit more stable and I would rate it as 3/10, transparency on the high side at 6-7/10.
Prime focus, taken at 1257 (GMT+8):-
With 5x Powermate, 1302 (GMT+8) and 1304 (GMT+8):-
Finally, I pulled out my 4mm to have a look.
And later on the same day, I take a look with Venus together with my family members and then took the following:-
Again with a 5x Powermate, 1817 (GMT+8).
The Mark-X tracks really well for over half an hour at 120x, still dead center.
