knight_shadow, you rock!

Yep. Last weekend I went up North where there are no city lights to distort the view, and of course I brought my telescope with me. I have a Celestron and an Orion. The Orion is much more powerful than the Celestron, so I'm able to see a lot. However, I didn't see the planets together, but I did see Saturn and Mars. Usually, I'm always looking for galaxies, as many as I can, or stars orbiting other stars. So I wasn't looking for the planets as much as I should've been. But that will change in the next month. You'll be surprised what you'll see with a really powerful telescope. It's just that so much of the universe appears to be one way but is really another that I wonder, at times, whether there's an ongoing conspiracy designed to embarrass astrophysicists.

Thank you so much for posting this, knight_shadow, that was so nice of you to do that. Thank you, and I'll keep my eyes/telescope on the look out.
