When I was a kid, my Dad bought a telescope.
He got it so we could see the rings of saturn. ...then he never could get it to focus... |
My younger brother has or had a cheap telescope at one point. I dunno what happened to it.
|
Oh no Jean! That sucks >.< They can be tricky. I'm really good at hitting the telescope so it moves by whatever I'm supposed to be looking at.
My brother went through several incarnations of telescopes. But the last one he had was pretty awesome. We saw 4 of Jupiter's moons, details on various other planets...he had some cool filters to look at details on the moon, etc. |
That sounds way cooler than just some toy.
|
And more spendy too ;)
|
Oh I'm very very sure.
|
It was all fun and games till you had to lug the pieces of it in a random field and assemble it all with just the light of flashlights.
|
omg I hadn't thought of that. I bet that would be a challenge. How many pieces did it come in?
|
But you have to go to fields to use it.
Way too much light close to the cities. |
Well yeah...I'd have to go way out there.
|
Yeah, Houston has a LOT of light pollution.
We used to be better in the part of Austin where we live, but the past 10 years it has really built up. |
And every kind of other pollution. The air quality isn't great from the start.
|
Heh. I probably live in the boondocks in your eyes.
Ah, I dunno probably a dozen or more pieces.....4 or 5 very large ones including the big o' base. http://i00.i.aliimg.com/photo/204963...telescopes.jpg Like one of these ones. |
It looks nifty! Very shiny.
|
:P Reminds me of Kaylee from Firefly

I never got into firefly although it's good.
|
Saw it but wasn't a fan or haven't seen?
|
I've never seen it all the way through in order, but I've seen episodes. I dunno. Just doesn't make me want to watch it that much though it's not bad or a thing.
|
It's fun. I love how much of a ham Nathan Fillion is
|
You really like that guy or something.
|
|
Well yeah he's cool and all....
|
|
But I don't like him nearly as much as you do.
|
i love all these nathan fillion gifs [love]
