Was just outside. Was an interesting view. Did you catch the north to south travel of that satellite?

too bad i miss it.. “The moon is a loyal companion. It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human. Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.” ― Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me I almost like this quote..almost had it stopped at "...full of light." after that.. what started as an astute observation became almost theatrical and a bit melodramatic..AND YET YEARS OF WATCHING THE MOON EVERY CHANCE I GOT... makes me appreciates Mark Twain's “Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.” - haha just blubbering.. peace:)

The beach is to cloudy to see anything tonight, I am envious of those of you that can.

Hey Moe, You should bring Your telescope to LaBroquerie. On a new-moon night, out here in the bush, You can't see Your own hand in front of Your face.

Straight north of Texas in the same time-zone is the Provence of Manitoba. Manitoba's capital is Winnipeg and I'm in a little town southeast of it by about 50 miles, called LaBroquerie.

Moe, is Your telescope a refractor or a parabolic ? (Also, Commonly Called Galileo or Newtonian)

Moe, is Your telescope a refractor or a parabolic ? (Also, Commonly Called Galileo or Newtonian) skywatcher 10" dobsonian... which is a refractor

A ten inch lens or a ten inch mirror ? Are we talking refraction or reflection ?

I'm just going to look for, 'Dobson Telescope' with my search engine. Maybe it uses both ways of displacing light.
