While you're here, how about checking out the
Astronomy Book
List ? |
I did spend significant time looking at the details on the moon. I
think my wife got a little iritated with me draging her out to see
things. I have gone from a 4in department store scope to this and it
is really amazing.
Tonight I am working on a dolly to be able to get the scope out in the
driveway in just a few minutes. This weekend getting material to make
a scope saver and a wedge and then get the power supply finished for
my cb245 and and and... Unfortunaltely I get plenty of time to do the
extras because I think the statistics are 300 cloudy nights a year in
Seattle . Oh well I guess it makes the good nights all the better :)
