Hi Kearn, thanks for the links, there fantastic, man a daytime meteor like your favourite, now that would be a site.
Thats got to be the best thing about astronomy, there are so many different areas to learn about. You start out with a very normal observing session, happen to find something in the eyepiece that you don't know what it is, do some research and find out it's something amazing, and that there are many others similar and spend a couple of months looking at star charts and the sky and find them, until one night while looking you find something in the eyepiece that you don't know what it is and do some research .....bla bla bla........ and the story continues
Sorry babbling again.......
Yes Astro it was the most amazing meteor I have ever seen. I didn't know they came in colours, but like I've said, learning learning learning. You made a comment about chasing comets as a little advanced for now, this one doesn't take much hunting and is well worth the look, you won't be dissapointed. As you can see below my scope is a little arperture challenged, but if there is one thing I have learned is, you never know what you can see unless you try. Many an object I have started out looking for, thinking that I probably won't be able to see it very well or at all, and then have been surprised at how much I could see. So these days I never say hmmmm won't bother coz in my scope I won't see it, I just try, some things I can see others I can't.
Anyway enough babbling........ (sorry) I do that a lot.
Keep up the good work astro and happy hunting.
WOW!!! Ken, I didn't know you had a website. Man you've got some great gear. Gear to dream about, dark sky's and great looking kids to boot, what more could a person want?
