Very nice.

Glad I came to this thread tonight.... best thing I've seen all day.

I took the kids out to see it, and it was a nice moment.

Yes they have! Was out the other night with my telescope. It's peak season for those planets right now

 

[IBhacknU]

what else have you been checking out Kami? Any comets out there now (for a quality scope)?

Yea, I saw it coming home from work too. At first I though it was traffic from the nearby Air Force base. Beautiful sight.
