    Default Look west at dusk. Three planets visible May 24/25

    Get off your computers folks! Go outside at dusk and take in a wonder that wont be seen again for a couple more years! Hopefully those damned rocks won't be blocking the view...

    Also, a large full moon is coming our way. You gotta love summer stargazing.

    My dad has a 8" telescope he is shipping out to me. That should be pretty fun!

    One of the things I've always wanted and never bought. Don't know why.

    Same for me. Hopefully we get a break in the clouds tonight.

    It seems guns and telescopes go hand-in-hand for a lot of people. My dad got me a telescope when I was in high school. Guns and stars. I used that scope until it fell apart. I've always wanted to get a higher quality scope. One of these days...

    Well, I work in the space industry, so I have a special fascination with space. I like guns because they deserve to be liked.
