our backyard in Perth
we only just bought our Nexstar 6 telescope so are still coming to grips with what it can see....
but this morning it was great, our kids had us up at 6.30am so we thought we might as well make the use of the early rise and even tho it was starting to get a little too light we were able to view Venus, I think Mars and definitely Jupiter. It was our first good look at Jupiter and it was amazing, the moons and the planet were all in a line we timed it just right!!
We are truly blessed in Perth with such clear skies for most of the year, now if only I could get rid of some of the trees in the garden we might be able to see a bit more!!!
