Wow! Sounds like you've had a great time so far Patrick.

We've been a little bit slower off the mark. The first night I let the kids stay up until full dark and it clouded over so much we decided not to bother. We may have been able to see something but I didn't want the kids first shot at it to be too frustrating.

Since then it's mostly been cloudy. Hubby and I took out the scope (Saxon brand) last night and had a general look around. We didn't really know what we were looking at, but the view was spectacular. Thanks for the link to Stellarium, I think it's just what we need to get started. I've already identified a few things to hunt for tonight although the kids might have to wait until tomorrow night. They'll be up for New Year's so they will hours of viewing if they want it.

Cheers,
Cathy
