Biography
When
I was young I liked to watch the night sky with all its beautiful stars
and planets. However, I could not afford a telescope until March,
2000 when I bought a Meade ETX90EC. With this telescope I was able
to see the disks and moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn for the
first time -- what a thrill! Unfortunately, unlike during my
youth, the light pollution in Hong Kong is now so bad that I can only see
about 5 bright stars with the naked eye. I am primarily interested
in solar astronomy which I do every clear day from the back stairs window
of my 36-story apartment building in the heart of Hong Kong. For
deep sky observing I go to the less light polluted suburb of Sai Kung.
