Today is November 9, 2006. It's been a while. I've been neglecting my blog but so much to do so much to see. My ears still itch. I've been a little sick latelty due to change of weather and spending too much time outside at night looking at the stars and trying to figure out my telescope.

I have been trying to learn about astrophotography. I don't know why but I just have to take pictures myself of the planets and stars.

Last year I got a telescope for christmas. It is a Tasco Luminova. I know it's cheap but it was all I could afford. I tried to look at the moon the other day. I was able to see pretty good but it was very shaky. I couldn't seem to focus on any stars for some reason. I was using a barlow 3x and the lens was 12.5 i think.

I've got a lot to learn. I just love to look into the sky in the morning and i see with my naked eye the big dipper, orion, the moon. I think I see saturn but I am not sure. I want so badly to identify all the constellations. I know where the north star is. Polaris in the little dipper.
This is all I've been thinking of this month. I am considering buying an expensive slr digital camera that i can't afford so I can get good shots of the moon. But then I am finding out I could use a webcam on my telescope. There are so many ways to go, I just don't know which way to go.

Sam had a great Hallooween. He was spiderman. He got lots of candy. Jeff is back working thank god. Hopefully I'll be able to give sam a good christmas.
Signing off till next time
