Does anyone know of any astronomy/observatory or even DIY site forums in the African continent or in China?

Hi Barry,

你好巴里,你是否实际上讲中文?

I don't suppose you can read that huh :whistle: what is says is: "
Hello Barry, do you actually speak Chinese?".

It's one thing to find Chinese astronomy forums (actually located in China) but then of course you have to be able to read and write Chinese :P

There is of course a way, there is always a way :P and the quickest way is via: http://dictionary.reference.com/translate/ (http://dictionary.reference.com/translate/)

However forget ever trying to correspond regarding serious mathematical equations etc. because the translation would lose much of the actual data, plus you have to remember there a numerous dialects of Chinese, the example I gave above is in 'Simplified Chinese'.

It is a big task you are undertaking but that is what makes our species great :thumbsup: taking on the big challenges. I wish you all the best and will support you in your attempts the best I can :D
