We're getting sucked in

[Dawn]

Adrian came home today with a serious pair of binoculars he found in a second-hand camera shop.

I've been out looking at Orion - it appears so close I could reach out and touch it. :thumbsup:

Steven says he saw a small nebula. :yes:

Did anyone see any space ships out there :unsure:

[Dawn]

Not yet but I may pop back out later to have a look.

[Dorothy]

Look for ET too, he still hasn't paid that phone bill :lol:

[Britchick]

funnily after reading my January edition of sky at night magazine :unsure: i was thinking of getting some binoclears- is it venus that's really bright at the moment- think its SSW or something

[mumof2]

we were looking at that tonight - it's soooo bright.

[Dawn]

Adrian took the dog out for a late night walk last night to look at the moon. :lol:

[Skywatcher]

cool - yes - Venus is sooooooooooooo bright at the moment looks like a car headlight

[Dawn]

Adrian is talking about starter telescopes. :unsure:

He was a bit nervous last night that I would complain he'd blown the Disney fund again on the binoculars. I told him we were carpe diem-ing and went outside in my jammies to test them. :lol:

[Skywatcher]

:thumbsup:

don't buy a cheap telescope - the binos are so much better and more portable - I like the carpe dieming but though :D

[Dawn]

We have a tripod for the camera now too. :D

We carpe diem-ed a lot on Sunday in Worthing. :lol:

[Skywatcher]

wicked - i am already getting ideas for what you can do when its next clear :D

[Disneybumble]

Love the Carpe Diem . If i had done a trip report in 2003 it would have been called that. Best friend died say no more.

Can we have a picture of you with the binns and maybe the penguin hat.

[goofygal]

[mumof2]

How funny! When I read your first post, my question was: Is the Disney fund in jeopary?

:lol:

[Skywatcher]

10x50's are best - I bought mine for (9.99 from lidls and they are all you need - don't go bonkers on price - when they are next on sale at lidls i will post a thread

[Dawn]

Head teacher says I'm allowed to borrow the Space books from the school library. :D

[Skywatcher]

Turn left at orion is a belting book for beginners

[Dawn]

And we're definitely off to Greenwich at half term. :D

And I'll tell Adrian about that castle place too.

[Skywatcher]

We'll come with you its only 5 mins away from us

[Dawn]

[Skywatcher]

[Dawn]

Woo Hoo!

Already checked out Greenwich for caches. Not wasting my time with the micros though - I want treasure. :lol:
