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 own a telescope but I really want one. Without a telescope I've seen Venus a couple of times and then Mars onc. My father pointed them out to me. As for a shooting star, once I was taking out the garbage and YEs I saw a shooting star!! I was SO excited and OMG it was beautiful...sadly I was the only one who saw it when I asked around. Sometimes I think that the shooting star was meant for me. The constellations I can easily locate is the Big Dipper/Little Dipper and Orion. All without a telescope.
