A.R.S.E.

Just picked up a nice little 5 inch telescope on a home-made dobsonian mount for Ava, with some nice eyepieces.

Tonight we checked out the moon before it got really dark and then once it was fully night, we found Saturn and saw its rings! An amazing experience through such a little scope and my daughter was mesmerised. Unfortunately it soon clouded over and we had to pack up.

Here's the little device with its steampunk carriage.

Nice. Hook a camera up to it and there's some awesome shots to be had.

hehe, it looks very homely indeed

it's good fun to see these things with your own eyes, that's for sure!

Nice !!

If you had a good view of Saturn and the rings then you should see some spectacular stuff when you point it at Jupiter.

We have our professor of AStronomy


Edit: unnacceptable use of ARSE..apparently.

nice use if flange....
