Step outside and look to the Southern sky, Mars is bright and visible, it's easy to spot because it's not flickering and it's reddish.

I refuse to believe you're smart enough to figure out that was Mars all on your own.

Peace and love to you Shaft. Pretend your anger is a jelly fish on top of your brain and let it drift away.

I love astronomy.. but Mars is so boring to me... with my telescope I can see all the Galilean moons, the stripes on Jupiter, and the rings of Saturn and it's moon Titan... Mars just looks like a red star... I know it's not boring... but for me it is.

Thanks for this. Plainly visible here. I woke the wife up at 1:45 to see it and strangely she wasn't impressed and threatened me if I woke her up again. Go figure. Some people just don't get it.

I get it... and I'm impressed.. but I want to see deeper and farther. Kinda like going into a cave.. that first stalagmite was cool... what's next..?

If it's anything like the set up one of my great uncles have, it's gonna cost you a lot more than 200 bucks.

Almost a full page and no Uranus comment? Rant is in full decline.

I know, I was just saying to see the rings on Jupiter and shite like that you have to have a pretty high powered telescope and a computer set up.

That was like his lifetime hobby outside of playing golf once he retired. He had this little shack built behind his house and from what I can remember, it was cool as frick to me when I was 5-10 years old.
