Know what? I just purchased my second telescope to be used when camping and it's a Heritage 130P! I can't wait to use it in the summer. My Dobsonian is way too big for to bring along for camping! I really don't see myself hiking with it on my back but one like yours? No problem!

Andromeda looks like a big cloud amongst the night sky. The inkier the night sky the better the view! Remember, it's not what you see but what you know about the object that counts. When looking at Andromeda, you are looking at our nearest neighbour when it comes to galaxies AND one day,.. it will merge with the Milky Way creating a HUGE new galaxy!

Cool no?
