Today i met up with a forum member from Singastro and got this
Its as good as new! Can't wait for the skies to clear up so that i can put this to test lol
Have you ever looked up to the sky at night and wonder what are those blinking points of lights. Have you every wondered where exactly are we in the universe and if, someone out there in the vast darkness, are like us, humans. Through hundred of years, humans have used science to find out the mysteries of the cosmic, and some chose to use it against humanity... Another hobby of mine is Hifi, and it goes very well with astronomy. Enjoy

Getting some accessories for my scope
Phew, astronomy is not an expensive hobby, stargazing IS!
I just barely got a scope which is my Orion Starblast 4.5,
and after trying it out for the first time, i found out there are a few more things i need to purchase to enhance the "experience".
As my starblast came with a 20mm Meade eyepiece and a 6mm "Palia" no brand cheap EP, my next objective to get a decent 32mm EP most likely from Televue, a 6mm or 7mm Televue Plossl and a TV barlow 2X.
Tomorrow i'm going to meet a guy from the forum and get the Barlow from him. It cost me $130 after some serious negotiations hahaha
Overall i saved about $50 as compare to getting a new one.
So now all i need to do is wait for my next pay and get the 2 eyepiece from Televue and i should be ready to put my eyes to the skies again.
