sampai kat Bukit Pelindung pn agak lambat dekat pukul 7 baru sampai.
Tp rasa macam party crasher pulak pasal yg ada kat situ suma orang dari Jabatan Ukur, Jabatan agama dan Jakim.

Tanya jugak kalo ini event tertutup tp dia kata tak, suma boleh datang tp tak byk orang yg datang kecuali mereka2 ni je.



masa mula sampai




waktu ni main telescope masih lagi mengira elevation sama angle.






kuantan dari bukit pelindung


gambo2 kuantan waktu malam, maklum lah bukan senang dan dapat peluang nih, tp pakai point and shoot shj la










Sori gambo sikit shaky, pasal ni kamera lama, stabilizer takde


Ini main telescope, Celestron with Auto Star calibration.

wahhh mcm nie pemandangan dr bukit pelindung... tak pernah nampak pasal x pernah panjat walhal ibarat sejengkal je pun dr rumah. hehehe

semalam kat kompleks falak alkhawarizmi pun ramai org. siap ada polis pengiring lagi.

tp meteor shower nih pakai mata kasar je ven, ko gi kat area bukit beruntung tu mesti ada tempat gelap jauh pda bandar... tengok aa kat situ subuh karang

atreyudevil wrote:ooo tido skrg.. pastu pagi bgn aa terus gi sepang kekekeke

Are you ready for a good, predictable meteor shower? Then break out
your favorite skywatching gear because the 2011 Leonid meteor shower is
already sparkling the skies…

In the pre-dawn hours on the mornings of November 17-19th, the
offspring of Comet Temple/Tuttle will be flashing through our atmosphere
at speeds of up to 72 kilometers per second – and enticing you to test
your meteor watching skills against partially moonlit skies. Although
the waning Moon will greatly interfere with fainter meteor trails, don’t
let that stop you from enjoying early evening observations, or enjoying
your morning coffee with a handful of “shooting stars” which will be
emanating outward from the constellation of Leo.

Where in the skies do you look? For all observers the constellation
of Leo is along the ecliptic plane and will be near its peak height
during best viewing times. When? Because of the Moon, earlier evening
observations are favored (before local midnight), but just a couple of
hours before local dawn is the best time to watch. Why? Read on!

Although it has been a couple of years since Temple/Tuttle was at
perihelion, don’t forget that meteor showers are wonderfully
unpredictable and the Leonids are sure to please with fall rate of
around 20 (average) per hour. Who knows what surprises it may bring!
Each time the comet swings around our Sun it loses some of its material
in the debris trail. Of course, we all know that is the source of a
meteor shower, but what we don’t know is just how much debris was shed
and where it may lay.

“The Moon is going to be a major interference, but we could see a
rate of about 20 per hour,” said Bill Cooke, head of NASA’s Meteoroid
Environments Office at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in
Huntsville, Alabama. “Some models, including ours, indicate that
particles may encounter Earth on November 16 at around 5:30 p.m. EST
[2230 GMT], where we could see anywhere from 100 to 200 meteors per
hour. So, we could get a Leonid outburst, but unfortunately it is not
favorably placed for viewing from the United States.”

As our Earth passes through the dusty matter, it may encounter a
place where the comet let loose with a large amount of its payload – or
it may pass through an area where the “comet stuff” is thin. We might
even pass through an area which produces an exciting “meteor storm” like
the Leonids produced in 1883! For those in the know, the Leonid meteor
shower also made a rather incredible appearance in 1866 and 1867 –
dumping up to 1000 (not a typo, folks) shooting stars recorded even with
a Moon present! It erupted again in 1966 and in 1998 and produced 3000
(yep. 3000!) video recorded meteors during the years of 2001 and 2002.
But remember, human eyes may only be able to detect just a few. So
what’s a realistic guess?

According to Cooke; “We could see rates of about five meteors per
hour,” he explained. “If people want to see the Leonids, it might be
good to watch the nights of November 16th and 17th. Instead of just
going out one night, you might want to go out twice.”

And to make this year’s show twice as nice, you’ll have a hard time
not being distracted with the Moon and Mars being right on the radiant!
You won’t be able to miss the Red Planet as the Moon slides along
south… First to Mars’ west and then to the east on the nights of
November 18th and 19th.

What a terrific show!

mana lah daku mempunyai camera yg sofistikated macam dikau punya...
setakat gambo bulan bleh la cucuk kat telescope.
meteor shower nih tgk pakai mata bogel je!

ada... ini terjadi kalo kita duduk dlm bando, pencahayaan yg kuat menyebabkan bintang2 kecil.... bukan binatang kecil ye
hilang dan hanya nampak bintang beso2 je.

lagi satu kalo taim bulan cerah, perasan tak kita nak nampak bintag sgt bila bulan tgh cerah, tp bila bulan malap atau takde bulan bintang ada byk.

itu light pollution la!
