since we're on the subject of space, does anyone star gaze? I have a telescope and really enjoy watching the stars. I got to see the lunar eclipse earlier this year. It was amazing due to the fact that Saturn was in sigt with it. I actually could see the ring on Saturn. Stunning stuff!

I had some very powerful binoculars and used to do quite a bit. But I dropped the damned things. All double images now But I want a telescope...so I can go up on the roof.

You can find some good ones for little $. I'll get some links for ya.

I have a pretty nice one. Only problem with it is, if you have it on the highest power and don't have a clock mechanism, you have to keep moving it because the object you are viewing quickly moves out of your field of view due to the rotation of the earth.

Tell me Mr Weingartner... you fell off the roof with your original telescope, didn't you? Oh yes, I know you did....

I have to do the same thing. I'm looking to upgrade someday soon. I also have to get a few new filters (I broke them during a beer drinking incedent).
