Having fun with my boy.

We received a Celestron 130XLT free and tonight while I was getting ready for imaging my boy centred both the Moon and Saturn in the eyepiece using the hand paddle. He was very excited as was I.

Nice to here Mark, one has to start them young, hope he keeps at it and enjoys all the wonders of the night sky.

Being able to share your interests with your kids is one of life's great gifts, enjoy!!!

( Kids enthusiasm can get them into strife as well.......... don't forget now to explain to your son the DANGER of turning that scope toward the SUN)
