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!

Unfortunately no, we do not have a telescope, at either my mom's or my dad's. My mom's house is closer to civilization than my dad's is, so the sky at my dad's is a lot clearer anyways. I can usually spot Orion, Ursa Major and Minor, and sometimes Canus Major, but that's the few that I can recognize as well. I really need to get a good chart that I can actually take outside and try to find more. Oh, and I think I've spotted Mars befoe, but I'm not all that certain.
