to the sky

I bought a new telescope the other week.  Its a Celestron firstscope - a 3" reflector and it was quite cheep ,but not cheaply made. I had always wanted a reflector. Your mom bought me a refractor . while its a nice scope unto its self its cumbersome to use. The ease and portability keeps me using this one.

   I was happy to but it.  I wanted to show you two the skies. My uncle was happy to show me what he know about the sky and of the wonderful satellites we launched to other worlds.  Its neet having to learn something just so I can show you both.  The other night I showed you two and mom the Moon for the first time.  It was wonderful to show you the night for the first time. We also saw the red world of Mars and Saturn as a planet instead of just a spot on the sky.   We saw its rings!!!!  Slowly I am buying an eyepiece here and there. Ones that are better that the ones the firstscope came with. Next year I'll buy a bigger scope thats also easy to bring with..    I thought that Ryan would be all over the scope but its Matthew that likes to watch the night sky. 

    Little by little we'll both  learn more together.  I'm loving it.  I'll keep showing you as much as I know if you keep making me learn more about the world. I love seeing it through your eyes.

 

As always

With Love,

Dad
