I was 12 when I got my first look at Saturn. That moment has stuck with me ever since. I always said I’d get a telescope of my own one day and look at it as long as I wanted. As the years went by there was always something else that took priority. I never stopped thinking about it though and when he said to pick one out for my birthday this year I jumped on the chance.
The first night didn’t go so well. I was so excited that I didn’t take into consideration that there were things that needed to be aligned. The next evening I did all that so it would be ready once it got dark.
The first place I looked was at Saturn. It was breathtaking. I spent quite awhile gazing at it enjoying the fact that I could take as long as I wanted. After a time I let hubby look.
We then viewed Jupiter and three of it’s moons, and took some time to look at our moon.
It’s been so nice to spend time with him doing something we both enjoy.
Hoping to get an attachment for my camera because as you can see by the photo holding the phone over the eyepiece to try and get a pic is impossible.
