I don't own a telescope, but my parents have some binoculars that are somewhat useful. My fifth grade teacher was really interested in space and always announced when there would be an eclipse or you could see a planet particularly well, and I've tried to keep up with announcements since then. There was one time when he obtained some sort of solar disc, so we could look throug his telescope and see actual sun spots! That was pretty cool.
My friends and I absolutely love laying out and looking at the stars together, philosophizing about life and the existence of something beyond the sky. During the course of our chats, we usually see several shooting stars and wish on them. (=
As for constellations, I can only identify a few, such as orion's belt, the little and big dippers and occasionally others, but I'm really terrible at recognizing those. I hope to learn more through the astronomy club! =)
