1st sighting

[trudie]

Okay, so its 5.30am and the cat wants to go out, I looked up (force of habit) to see what I thought was a very bright star, now instead of doing what any sensible person (who was still in the garden at 2.30am) would have done, I chose to grab my specs, turn on the scope and have a look. All I can say is awesome. MY 1ST GLIMPSE OF JUPITER!!!

Now I need to know, do amateur astronomers actually sleep?

At the moment when i leave for work Jupiter is in front of me nearly all the way there,unfortunately cant get the scope on it as a bit low in the evening.

Still Jupiter in the morning and Venus in the evening keeping me company

We sleep on cloudy nights, and at the desk after a clear night

(Mind you, bit of a problem if you drive for a living :? )

Well done Trudie! 8)

Shame it's so low in the sky though eh?

And what is this word sleep that you speak of?

[The Warthog]

Good for you! Did you see any moons?

I don't sleep, I only meditate on the wonders of creation, and read the jokes in Reader's Digest when that gets old.

I'll sleep when I'm dead. :shock:
