Looking at the Stars
My wife got me my first telescope for Christmas last year and I finally
figured out how to use it. It is a Meade DS114 ATA. This means that it is a 4.5
inch telescope with a GOTO computer. So basically it can find almost anything
in the night sky provided that I get it lined up right when I turn it on. Once
it finds an object it tries to keep it centered and on track. This is good
because well I just am to lazy to learn everything I need to learn about the
stars in order to get this new hobby going. Anyway this section will be to catalog
my adventures in the night sky.
Here is what I have seen so far:
Jupiter and 4 moons
Saturn
The moon
The Andromeda Galaxy
The Dumbbell Nebula
M27
M34
M11
Enif
Altair
C14
