Astronomy Club: Discussion

I'm glad the last discussion was such a hit! It was exciting. =]

So, here's another discussion I think should prove interesting. Since you're all interested in Astronomy (obviously), do you own a telescope? If so, what have you seen with it? Anything magnificent, like a comet? If not, do you want one, and what would you plan on looking for/at? Have you seen any planets in the sky, with or without a telescope? Have you ever seen a shooting star? What constellations can you most easily locate? Can you do this with or without a telescope?

No, you don't have to answer all the questions, just answer those that apply, and elaborate a little on your answers. If you've seen a comet or a planet, or anything else for that matter, explain what it looked like. If you have a telescope, what kind/brand do you have?

Most of all, have fun! And don't forget to sign with your house!

I don't have a telescope. I once saw a planet once, not sure which planet it is. Surely it's not a star since it doesn't twinkle and it wasn't the moon since I saw the moon behind me. :P

I always wanted to see constellations but I don't really spend much time under the dark sky. I tried gazing before but only a few stars shine due to the bright lights of the city. I have more interest in astrophysics and facts about heavenly bodies...maybe I've given up in star gazing due to my residential status...sigh
