I'm a big astronomy buff ... wifey bought me a telescope for Christmas and I just recently got it - about 2 weeks ago. I'm still getting familiar with it, but here's a pic I took tonight of the moon, through the 10mm eye-piece that came with the scope. Pic was taken using my HTC EVO4G phone ...



I'll keep this thread updated with other things I find lurking in the night skies ... I want to find a nearby planet (Venus, Mars, Jupiter) and see what I can find.

Let me know if you see any Aliens, still trying to convince myself they are out there.

Don't play, you know that really is just a extremely close up pic of your thumb.

I went through a astronomy phase about 10 years ago and bought a telescope....haven't used it in forever but have it set up....when I get home I'll tell you what model I have.

See if you can find the rings around Uranus.

Mine is a Meade ETX-90...you've made me want to start back...I love space.

Space the final frontier.

All jokes about Uranus aside, it's really obvious that there's manmade structures on the moon....just saying....PROOF

full moon time:

I think I see someone (or something) walking around....hmmm

I am also somewhat of an astronomy buff. This looks like the moon to me.

At least, it's not another shot of your thumb.

Lower left. Marvin the Martain has clearly detonated the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator.
