		<title>A Visit to Anseong Observatory and Environs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last Saturday I took a trip down to Anseong to check out some astronomy sites. I envisaged a one and half hour trip but traffic jams soon dispelled that delusion. It was more like two and half hours.
You definitely need a car to get to this place. It&#8217;s about 7 kms outside of Anseong and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Connecting Meade&#8217;s #505 and a USB Serial Adapter (On Linux)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(Source for this was a couple of other sites that I neglected to record.)
Linking my telescope with Meade&#8217;s #505 cable and a serial adapter using /dev/ttyS0 just didn&#8217;t work, no matter what I tried. So, I couldn&#8217;t use Linux astronomy programs to control my LX90.
Here is what I did to solve the problem after getting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Woosung Observatory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is my modest home observatory. It&#8217;s certainly less than ideal and might represent one of the world&#8217;s worst observatories, with much of the sky out of view and located in a city with a lot of air pollution.
There is also a high level of light pollution to deal with. However, it is still possible [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moon, Venus, Jupiter - Dec. 2, 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I couldn&#8217;t catch the &#8220;smiley face&#8221; but I got these from my balcony, taken with my Canon 50D using an EF 17-40mm f/4L USM lens.
And a little lighter:

		<title>First Canon 50D Moon Shots Using a Camera Adapter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The following was taken with a Canon 50D hooked up to my LX90 with a camera adapter. I found camera shake a problem, as well as shimmering air on the night, and these account for the slightest blurring of the shots I took. This one though was reasonable. I&#8217;ll have to get a shutter release [...]]]></description>

		<title>International Astronomy Shopping</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Proviso
You have to be careful with some outfits. I&#8217;ve had stuff sent to me that was clearly second hand. Fortunately, it wasn&#8217;t hugely expensive gear. In any case, what can you do 10,000 kilometres away faced with the prospect of shipping costs and a major hassle.
So you have to pick and choose. Here are the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Testing A Meade #505 Cable Connection (On Windows)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Source: From: http://www.weasner.com/etx/autostar/as_testing.html
Note: you can also do the following test via Autostar and the Comm. Test.
This is for testing a communications between a telescope&#8217;s Autostar and a laptop connected with a  505 cable and serial adapter. These instructions are useful as a way of finding out what port it is on and establish that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Astronomy Software</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Astronomy software I like to use:
Stellarium
Stellarium is my preferred planetarium software for quick look-ups. It&#8217;s simply and straightforward, and it gives you plenty of customization options.
It&#8217;s a nuisance that a number of steps are involved in setting up telescope guidance, and this may put some people off. Also, it will only work with a limited [...]]]></description>

		<title>Accessories</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The idea of controlling my telescope with a laptop running Linux appealed to me greatly. For this I needed to get the correct cable connector for the LX90, as pictured below.
I suspect these parts could have been obtained at a fraction of the cost from the Yongsan electrical mart. However, I went with the manufacturer&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
