I've always been amazed by the planets, our solar system and the universe. I've watched many a "Cosmos" and most of the current Astronomy based specials today. I recall going to the observatory as a kid and being awed by the planets, our solar system, etc. I've owned an inexpensive 60mm telescope for many years and used it to check out the moon and for not too clear shots of the planets (never could quite make out the rings of Saturn or Jupiter's bands very well). Recently, I picked up an Orion 150MM Mak-Cas telescope and have seen great images of the moon and Jupiter so far. I have lots to learn and am looking forward to checking out our solar system and any "deep space" objects I can capture. I was showing a friend sat passes the other night - he was amazed we could see them overhead with just our eyesight in the night sky.

Cheers
