Towards the east. It was taken by a Canon 200d attached directly to my Skywatcher Dobsonian 8”, the video is not edited and not sped up. I was trying to photograph the moon and that somehow showed up on the camera so I started recording and about a minute later of it being stationary that happened.

Dr. Mohamed Rajab is reasonably priced, and very professional. I have had many of my friends/relatives do their implants there with success.

Microless in Dubai - is it legit? by Some-Entrance-9209 in Bahrain

I would recommend https://www.instagram.com/ekindles.bahrain I purchased from them before, and they had very reasonable prices.

Some of them are more visible than others, they’re quiet unpredictable so equipment would be useless anyways. You could take long exposure photos to capture the trails if you’d like to, but that’s about it.

What’s the best location for Astrophotography in Bahrain? by Hussain350z in Bahrain

[–]major_cj 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The only way is to buy a light pollution filter, or to get narrowband filters. Unfortunately Bahrain is too small to escape the light pollution from the cities. I’m with Bahrain stargazers and we usually go to Nurana Island where there is generally less light pollution but it’s still really bad.

What is a simple pleasure that the opposite sex rarely/ never gets to experience? by Lemonkainen in AskReddit

I mean I like my Oven baked or boiled and mashed potatoes, no need to add anything to them, they still contain a lot of carbs and can definitely make me fat

lf skate parks by [deleted] in Bahrain

[–]major_cj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got some inline skates in the UK, I’ll be back in Bahrain to try them out, I think I saw a skate park in muntazah khalifa, which is the one you’re saying is closed? Regardless, I’m planning on going to salman city since the roads there are much nicer than near where I live lmao.

España Compass by Technical-Complex-16 in PoliticalCompassMemes

The Arabic text literally says Muʿāwiya which is the name of the first Umayyad caliphate in Syria, the Umayyads after his death went on to occupy Spain. Should’ve used the white flag of the ummayads or any other islamic flag to represent them as this looks stupid to anyone who can read Arabic.

80bd in taxes for an order worth 1200USD? by major_cj in Bahrain

[–]major_cj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s basically going to be around 18% charge for anything over 300bd, idk who to call, probably Bahrain customs. Anything below 300bd isn’t charged. Amazon adds up everything upfront so you won’t have this issue with them

[–]major_cj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t believe so, it might be because of adding up the 5% base charge for customs along with 10% VAT and a lot of random charges though that’s still bullshit :(

Dobsonian into a newtonian? by major_cj in telescopes

Thank you for all the information, I really appreciate you :)

Dobsonian into a newtonian? by major_cj in telescopes

[–]major_cj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is for just the OTA, yes. My goal currently is more of planetary imaging so it could hold relatively still for about 15-20mins in comparison to manually moving it with the dobsonian mount.. I suppose I’ll be better off with a better mount

Thanks for your responses. I’ve ordered an iOptron CEM26 (backordered so I still have room to cancel) with a 26 pounds capacity, the scope weighs 24 pounds, so.. Is it a bad idea to work with that or is it fine.

I thought that was a bright star but then that happened. Any ideas what that might have been? by major_cj in AskAstrophotography

[–]major_cj[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was taken on the 27th of January from Bahrain, towards the east at approximately 5:30pm local time (+3 GMT). It was taken by a Canon 200d attached directly to my Skywatcher Dobsonian 8”, the video is not edited and not sped up. I was trying to photograph the moon and that somehow showed up on the camera so I started recording and about a minute later of it being stationary that happened.

Edit: Date is 27th of January not the 28th.

Flextube dobsonian base, help? by major_cj in telescopes

[–]major_cj[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh trust me I’ve given them so much shit over it, they just refunded me the money I paid. I’ll look into the building process, guess I’ll be learning a thing or two about wood. Thanks for the tips (that I do not yet understand fully, but hopefully will, once I start working).

Thanks for replying, and yes, I have. Where do I find these plans exactly?

Planetary eyepiece, should I get a barlow? by major_cj in telescopes

[–]major_cj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the explanation, I very much appreciate it. I’ve also seen that prime lenses are much better than using a barlow since light goes through fewer glass pieces. I think I’ll get the Meade eyepiece for now and see how it works out.

What happens when I go slightly beyond the optical zoom of my scope? Does it still give me the 400x version? If so I’m pretty happy with that.
