Ones sees that the largest privately owned telescope in the world was bought
for hundreds less than Booby's toy telescope.

In fact, Booby's scope wouldn't even work as a spotting scope for the above
wonder. Booby's telescope is puny and expensive! Plus it's in a crap
location!!!!

Yep, been looking all month.
Got a 10" reflector set up in the backyard

We're using a Celestron GPS 9.25 inch and an old 6 inch Newt in the Poconos.
Skies are pretty dark there, but Mars has never been a fave object. I've been
thinking of getting a bigger scope, though the Celestron is already a handful.
What type of 10" do you own?

I prefer looking at Venus. Mars is just a chunk of red rock and posible =
ice that died a long time ago. Venus has future possibilities. =20

Don't bother Donal, you won't see it for the fog anyway.


Ouch!


Is it foggy weather too?


Nah, it's a bit overcast at the moment, but it might clear up later.
