Also question 2#.
 
Can you point me to a low to free cost Astronomy classes? I like to learn as much as I can before I go about getting a cert in it.

 teach a night class at NMC in the winter time…it’s called “The Winter Sky”  The class is two nights at the observatory.  The class costs about $35 and includes how to use a telescope, how to find objects in the sky, basics of cosmology (example: what a galaxy is, what a nebula is, ect.) It also includes telescope time in NMC’s 14″ SCT.  Most people learn quite a bit in the class, but it might be to basic for you.  I am not sure of your level in astronomy.
 
The parts I keep in stock most times, except the 32mm widefield eyepiece.  Delivery time on the items if not is stock is about 5 days in most cases, though if back ordered it can take longer.  
 
I will be there Oct 5th.[/quote]

Well it’s been another cloudy night and I was not able to go outside and view the stars, planets, comets so on. Well I guess that’s what you get when you live in a cloudy state LOL.

Oh well more later. Piece out!

Well it’s been another night with out viewing the stars and taking photographs. It’s very frustrating when you want to get good and practice.

Hi everyone.

Today I was watching the weather closely and it doesn’t look good for stargazing tonight. This will be my 3thrd evening that was ruined from the weather. So I will stay inside again and work on my blog to make it look nice.
