I felt so close I was looking for first stages of Apollo LMs. The moon never disappoints.

Great sighting. Mostly blue. Clearly visible through the 25mm Sirius Plossl eyepiece. A good bit of light pollution but was able to see the Nebula in good detail.

Decided to (quickly)view the Virgo Cluster before I headed back inside. I had my 10mm eyepiece in so I wasn't able to see the other galaxies. Not much to see of this galaxy,more of an egg shaped point of light than a regular stereotypical galaxy.

My first attempt to see Venus through a telescope. The sky was too cloudy so I could not get a clear enough view to resolve the planet.

Not much to see

Used 3x Barlow lens. It was beautiful.

I think it was the first observation me and my brother could do since the weather was pretty bad since January. We were trying to see other stars when we found Jupiter and three of its moons.

It was a pleasant experience, we saw it in B/N because I haven't got filters yet.

Quite beautiful

The first chance I got I took my scope out to see Saturn. I was forced to look through a neighbors tree but enough light still came through the branches for me to see Saturn. It wasn't the best view but it blew my mind that I was looking at Saturn and could still see its rings despite the poor conditions. I was only able to view for about 15 min before Saturn went to far into the tree and the image became a dim mess.

First object I saw when I got my telescope. I was able to see three of the moons that night.
