Monday, January 16, 2012Clear nights for the telescopes“…. and the skies are not cloudy all day.” Okay, I don’t know where the heck that is, but I know for sure it isn’t in northern Wisconsin in the winter. If you love to setup & use a telescope and do astronomy as much as I do, clear nights are like gold in this part of the country. In fact, clear winter nights can be so elusive in our area as to make some folks think twice about spending money on telescopes and telescope accessories. For better or worse, I am not one of those folks. I love astronomy too much to give up because of cloudy nights. Okay, I’m definitely one of those glass is half full types when it comes to astronomy, but when the skies do clear in our north woods at night and you do get a chance to use your astronomy binoculars or telescopes, it is worth putting up with a lot of cloudy nights. The images we get in the telescope eyepiece when the sky finally clears will take your breath, away. Sure, we could have retired to the desert in Arizona to get more in the way of clear nights, but no way would I be able to ski right out my back door after a fresh snow in that country. Nope, I’ll stay right here, thank you, but if you astronomers in Arizona could send a few clear nights our way, I would be grateful. Comments: |
