Its a hughed full moon....

Is that behind the snow clouds Hayley?

we had sunshine today...**shakes head ** no more snow please....

Look at Buggs thread on gen to see what to look for at 9 tonight. Unfortunately we have got cloud here at the moment.

Fat chance of seeing anything here, we've had blizzards lol

covers Hayley's full moon with a blanket lol

its freezing here full moon or not

and its Friday

guess some will be baying tonight for sure

I hope its not cloudy,,,,,,,am all geared to try new telescope out tonight,,,,,,I'll report what I see,,,:}}}}}

There;s a great view from here, Hayley, come and join me in the gutter and you will see Mars:-) XX

Get out of the gutter BC tsk ...evening ladies

I;ve just made a telescope and am waiting for 9pm now...

Evening everyone.
Kay please don't tell my hubby you've got a new telescope,he's been badgering me for ages to let him get one and I said NO.... lol
I want him to have one but as he's likely out of work soon I wont let him
Am I being too horrid???

LW,

Yes you are,being just plain nasty,}}}},,,wish I'd known Trish he could have had my other one,((

It has its plus sides ,,you can relegate him to the garden or hills while you have house to yourself.....

You can get a failry cheap one that does a good job,less than £50......

There nothing to see of the moon tonight as its too bright and shows no surface....(

BC get up outa there,Mars!!!!,way youre laying people will see a moon on the ground}}}}}

Hi Kay
well sob I'm not really bein nasty cos i really want one too and him and son and Grandson are ganging up on me so bet they win in the end.. mmmmmm if he can get one for 50 quid wonder why he's lookng on e-bay at all these for few hundred he's havin me on...He can get one out his redundancy money... lol

remember, the longer the better!

short telescopes lose out a lot, because of the colour shift,tingeing and halo effect....(unless its a Newtonian!)

bob

Hmm, I can only see from my front door and if there isn't cloud there, there's a flippin street light right outside.

Clear as a bell here the moon is absolutley gorgeous tonight..

Thanks Bob I'll remember that!!! lol

LW,

The higher the magnifaction the more it costs,,,,

mine new one was quite pricey,but will last for years.I got the tripod as well......

second hand £150- £250...... can get you a pretty good one,,,dont buy one without a tripod,,,,

It's a good hobby as we can all join in and enjoy looking at the skies.. Scares me to death though I tend to try NOT to think about the infinity of it all..
