Monday, July 09, 2007Portable telescopes
Had a fairly decent night under the stars, Saturday night. I like observing on Saturday nights, this time of year, since summer observing means keeping late hours and I get to sleep in late on Sunday morning (though I never do).
Had a neighbor stop by to see what I was doing, so gave him a look at Jupiter in my Kowa 663 spotting scope set at 60x. Now, I'm not about to claim this is a great choice for planetary observing, but it was just handy (I keep it set up in my living room) and I didn't feel like setting up a big scope just for a short observing session. A better choice in a small telescope, though, would have been a Televue Tv-76 and, of course, it would also look great in my living room, especially perched on the Televue walnut Panoramic tripod. A girl can dream, can't she? Comments: |
