My Daughter and her friend were at home last night, when a 'Dad can we have a look through your telescope' was asked, how could I refuse?
I set up the 150mm f5 Newtonian and left it to cool for a few minutes.
Our tour was very basic, buch much enjoyed by all :
Lunar, with lots of wow, would you look at those craters and the inevitable where is the Lander questions.
Then up to Pleiades with the wow, that's amazing.
Across and up to Cassiopeia and the surrounding wonders, was pleased that the Double Cluster was well received.
Then across to Orion and of course the Nebula and then Betelgeuse and other stars to look at the colours.
By this point they were now cold and had reached saturation of the Celestial Wonders for now.
It made my day that I was asked to show them something and it was enjoyed, wonderful stuff indeed.
I love showing others the sky and the wonders we enjoy, really enjoyed myself.
A great end to 2019, which for me has been a rough old year in part.
