Are the Stars Out Tonight?
"Capt. JG" wrote in message ... "Jeff" wrote in message . .. * Capt. Rob wrote, On 4/26/2007 12:19 PM: There's more stars out in the middle of the ocean. Scared ya, eh? Uh, Scotty...wanna explain how one would mount and use a astronomical telescope on a small boat? IT can work on a cruise ship, or drilling platform and probably Joe's houseboat since it's tied tightly to the dock! Some of the best amateur viewing I've had has been with a 7x50 on a boat. There's nothing like being miles away from the nearest light. Even without binoculars .. saw amazing number of stars at about 150 miles off. When we were in Baja recently, same thing, and we were anchored within 100 yards of shore. Do they even have electricity in Baja now? g Max |
