Wow, I would love to see this but as I am working an 8 hour shift tomorrow and I am still not well I need all the sleep I can get so I guess I will have to miss it

Charley I'm very interested I love Astronomy & did my degree in Physics & Astronomy. I have a Skywatcher Explorer Reflector Telescope.
Whether I can get up is another thing. lol I'm sure the last one was during the day as I remember projecting it on a piece of card to watch.

Glad i'm not the only one

I have a basic telescope that my Grandad left me. I would love to get something I bit more powerful but don't have the money for it at the moment Also, where I live isn't the best for viewing the stars due to too many trees! I try my best though There is a wide, open field near me but I would be a bit intimidated standing in the middle of it by myself in the dark!

What size is your scope?

Have you a favourite object to look at? My favourite has always been Jupiter, especially as you can see the cloud formations & it's four largest moons. Blows me away each & every time.
