You may have heard, we bought ourselves a Meade ETX-90EC telescope. The kids and I are having a blast with it. We can see the rings of Saturn and the weather swirls of Jupiter. Draven has even recieved emails from people when we send off questions. One person was kind enough to confirm our sighting and picture of Crater Schiller on the moon (we circled it in red on the picture here). He was a very friendly person with an interesting website.. "http://members.tripod.com/~theastronomer/" look there if your interested in astronomy stuff. We cannot get good photo's of Jupiter or Saturn yet, but we are still learning how to balance the digital camera on the eyepiece :)... Now on to a quote then the pictures..: "If you are going through hell, keep going." - Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)
