Did anybody see the moon last night? It was very bright, it lit up my bedroom like it was daytime!

I didn't know that Easter was always on the Sunday following the full moon in March. I heard that on the radio this morning. Learn something new every day.

We get to leave at 4pm today, paid until 5:30. WOOT!

Damn i so would have been up for this if i was in town! One upon a time i was very into astronomy and was on my way to MIT. Somehow i ended up into cars :lol:

I just bought a telescope a few months ago & i have it set up but need to dial it in. I also got the converter to hook up my camera to it. I cant wait to take some killer photos with it! Guess i better get crackin hehe. Scott, do you know of any astronomy clubs in the area?
