Nebulous

Three months into this wondrous pastime and I already wish I had a bigger 'scope.  The 5.1" GoTo instrument we bought so that we wouldn't have to fiddle with alignment and finding stuff on our own is now proving woefully inadequate at gathering enough light.  Still, we're out every clear night, enjoying astronomy and each other.

Amazing how something as vast and distant as the Cosmos can be so intimate and so effective at bringing people together.

Dark skies and bright viewing, my friends.  It's great to know you're out there.
