Astronomy Thread

Finding an asteroid is extremely hard. Congrats.

 

Thanks. After all that set up it was in the eyepiece for 5 seconds. Totally worth it.

 

Supposedly with some high end mounts you can actually track the ISS in a scope. That would be very cool. I try and look at it every time it passes with a pair of binoculars, you can see a lot of detail with a decent pair.

I'm really interested in cosmology. I like trying to bend my mind around space and time
