hello from san diego, hope this forum will help u like it has helped many others!btw...that's a funny dope kinda worrysome avatar! =)

LOL Thats my little girl on her one year birthday just a few months back! I took her to the zoo and just HAD to give her a rubber snake from the gift shop! (My wife hates anything "creepy crawly" so I got a good laugh!)

I haven't had mine out in months though. Thing weighs 50+ lbs. We live in town so until I find a place outside town it is just going to sit. Below is a pic I took through my telescope of Saturn. Keep in mind that neither my scope or camera are designed for astrophotography. I just held the camera up to the eyepiece. The first time I saw saturn through the scope was one of those times in my life where I was breathless at what I was seeing. It was very exciting. It of course looks better in person compared to the pic but it does give you an idea.

Man thats AWESOME! Did you happen to catch the conjunction of Jupiter Venus and the moon the other night? If not here is a pic!

I caught that, made the kid look at it also. Nice pic.

I did but didn't take any pics or get the 'scope out. Should have though.

Yep! Though it was brighter than that where I live. Felt an obligation to my old Astronomy teacher. :lol:

I saw it, but I'm a bit disappointed. Thought it was only visible in Yuma!

Howdy.

She handles that snake well. Maybe you gotta professional animal handler there

I used to live in the high desert of eastern AZ and the sky was huge there. I've seen many meteor showers there, and they were pretty cool. The moon fills the sky. Haven't seen a place that compares, yet, but then I was at 6,400 feet also.

Best corn I ever ate was in ohio, haha Rented a harley and rode through Amish country and ate the best corn I ever tasted there. If Illinois corn is that good, well then I can see why you wonder why nobody misses it, but then I'm a fat dude anyway
