Stars, nebulae and galaxies, Oh my!
Nov. 18th, 2006 10:57 pmWent to the Perth Observatory tonight. Last time we had gone was a few years ago, during the colder autumn/winter season. Saw many different things, and learned a bit more too.
Hoping to do one of the full day tours, a bit more on the educational/viewing how-tos, then the nighttime observing with the BIG 'scope. Got the 2006 Almanac, even though it will be outdated by the end of the year, it still has information about Messier objects and other facts that will come in handy for skyviewing. Will be getting the 2007 in hope of using it next year.
Oh, they also would like me to send them my photographs of Mars. :)
