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? RB |

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 --=20 katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A. Heinlein |

You're stupid! Do you know what the surface temperature on
Venus is? It's hot enough to melt lead - almost 500 degrees C. It would take a million years to cool the planet down enough to make it liveable even if something could be done with the atmosphere. Terraforming is out of the question unless we had the technology to move the planet out of orbit to the area of the asteroid belt to let it cool down for several thousand years. S.Simon "The_navigator©" wrote in message ... Not sure about that or else. Cheers MC katysails wrote: Venus is covered with clouds. Venus could be terraformed and an atmosphere could be created from the one she already has. Albeit, we don't have the technology to pull it off yet. But we will. Much better than living in plasto-enviro units on Mars where even if there is water under the surface, it would not be sufficient to create a breathable atmosphere. |
