It seems this hobby is in reach for anyone. I never knew that soo many people had a hobby like this. Very interesting

[TheLabGuy]

you know, i took an astronomy class in college. I only learned one thing in it, that the moon is the reason we have tides in the ocean (actually thought that was cool), other than that, it was the most boring class known to man.........no offense my fellow Gallileo's......lol

You learned that in college...I was taught that in grade school... sad thing is it's the only thing I remember. lol

Here's another fun goody. I use it once in a while.

Meade #902 Electronic Eyepiece 1.25" or .965"

[Denturist]

What kind of image quality do you achieve with the eyepiece? did you download any images?

[labdude]

The electronic eyepiece is o.k. I need to use a 1/4" filed flatener to get good pictures. That and you need a good TV. Moon and planets look o.k, much better through the eyepiece with your own eye. The things are good for a group viewing of the moon. Detail isn't all that great. It could be hooked up to a pc with the proper card inside I believe.
You want to fiddle with it William?? Pm your address and I'll send it to you.

think i'll pass, to damn busy to fiddle....LOL
