Any stargazers?

I had a telescope as a kid and still know a few constellations. One of my favorite things is to go out to Big Bend , lay on the ground at night , a stare at the heavens. It's always a powerful experience. Just another reminder that there is a God. Makes me want to take an astronomy class .

Been ten years since I have been able to visit Big Bend. Man I need to take a vacation there again.

Big Bend has an amazing power. The Indian legend is when God was finished creating the world he put the left overs in Big Bend. I'm planning a trip for December.

I haven't look through the telescope in years, but I love looking at the night sky.

It is an amazing place. We don't make it into the park much any more, we usually hang out in Marathon, or Alpine (Marfa once). Its hard to beat the Gage.

A Brother told me last night that in the morning of August 27th (a little after midnight) that the Moon and Mars will appear together for the first time in 270+ years... If he is correct, none of us will ever have the chance to see this again in our lifetimes.

I certainly got into this when I was around 10 or so. I never lost interest but I did stop actively involving myself in it. I have an Astronomy class at Baylor this semester. It should be quite interesting.

I have a Meade TelStar that I haven't used in a while, had to dust it off the other day. I live about an hour from the McDonald Observatory, been there in the day time just need to make up there for a star party.
