My name is Aaron. I am 9. And i typed this all by myself. And my Dad is Ken, I'm intrested in telescopes and planets in space. I love this website becuase I like the space pitures.
Good on you for taking an interest in Astronomy. Its great fun!! I got my first telescope when I was not much older than you. ( and that was a long time ago ) It was a little 60mm Tasco refractor and I thought it was the best present I had ever been given. Through it I cold see heaps of craters on the moon, Jupiter and its moons and belts and zones, Saturn, the orion nebula. You're pretty lucky your dad has such a big scope. You can see so much more than I ever could with my little scope.
Hope to hear more of what you're looking at. (Don't let Dad hog the scope too much. Make sure you get a go. Shhhh)
Welcome Aaron, I would have to agree with you the pictures posted on this site are very good, I have some grandkids your age and younger and they love nothing more than to look through the telescope, look at the pictures and then tell the other kids at school what they have seen.
Make sure dad gives you even viewing time. He is a great influence to us all.
sorry, but he already hogs it!last time we looked through it was about in January or Febuary becease of the fogy wether! Can't wait for the star camp, goodnight, I've got to go to bed.
Hi Arry, glad you like the space images that we post on the site. Is there any images that you want to see, that no one has posted yet? Perhaps we can take some images for you?
G`day Arry and welcome to the chit chat place. Looking forward to seeing you popping in on the forums again pretty soon ok. Enjoy the pictures as much as i do.
Hello rumples riot. I would like to see a photo ofthe whole milkeyway, becease I've never seen a whole photo of it. thankyou.
My brother Jake would like to say hello.
Hello my name is jake and i am 12 years old. I think telescopes are amazing because you can see so far and see fantastic things. im doing a school science project on how telescopes work. Dad let me use his big telescope all by myself. It was cooly awesome. but i could not find the trantula. Thank you for listening to me.
Arry I don't know if I can image the whole Milky Way, but I guess I could give it a try. Can you wait for six months or so? It is very large and I would need to use my camera with only its little lens on and would need to take lots and lots of shots. however if you want Eddie has a shot of it on his site. Ask Dad to show you Eddies site, he will know how to find it.
Jake I am sure that all of us here are glad you have an interest in Astronomy and you are lucky that your Dad has such a good scope. You will learn lots from him. Stick with using the scope and we are all more than happy to listen to you.
Ken you are lucky your kids are interested in Astronomy, something to share with them for the rest of your life. Wish my nephews had the same sort of interest.
Arry here. The happy (sad) dude is Baily. He always looks like that!Plus theres no such thing as a cow jumping over the moon.
Dad dosen't make us like the sky. We just do like it.
I'm Jake, take a cow up in a space ship and throw it over the moon and then there is a cow over the moon.
Aaron says hello
