That sounds awesome Sus! And don't ant bites just seem so tiny when looking at the stars and planets....
I haven't got a telescope yet, but I'm biding my time until I can talk to people who actually use them...meanwhile I'm having a great time learning about what I can see just with my own eyes. It's really cool to be able to look up and say that's this particular planet or that's that one. I'm also hoping to learn more about how far away they are and about their make up (you know if they wear lipstick, mascara, etc...okay it's late my humour is NOT good).
Any way, Simmo's suggestion of Stellarium is brilliant. I was looking at static star charts, but with Stellarium it is all in real time and makes it quite easy to see what the stars/planets are and what they are called. I love it - and am absolutely hooked!
Keep stargazing and can't wait to hear more about the sights you see!
