Cloudy days are never good for viewing the night sky, either with the naked eye or a telescope. If it's a cloudy night or if your area is well lit at night, the visibility will not be good. That's not a fault of this specific telescope though, as even really advanced telescopes can't peer through the clouds. If your area is flooded with light pollution then you might want to find a spot away from the city where you can star gaze. If you're serious about wanting to spend hours looking at the night sky, then you'll want to find some field or something similar with a lot of open space and a clear view of the sky in all four directions.

The link you showed me seems to be the same telescope. I don't see any differences. Keep in mind that this telescope is just a common amateur telescope. Don't so expect to see things like you do in magazines and books taken by the Hubble lol. It is great for viewing the planets in the solar system (Jupiter appears to be about the size of a dime), the moon, binary stars, star clusters, large galaxies, and some nebulae.

Ha, no worries! It means a lot to me, thank you. And you have a wonderful day as well!

Yeah, it sucks. A few of the books have been good, though.

I don't know much about it, besides its potential to be hosting alien life. Our solar system is very interesting, as well.

Yeah, it is. I've been looking up alien theories and such for years on the internet. While most, if not all, of them are probably fake, I still prodigiously enjoy perusing them. Physics and Geology are also two very interesting fields. Astrobiology is by far my top choice, but the study of planets is very intriguing as well.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try to read it whenever I can - a.k.a. when my teachers quit swamping me with stuff to read. lol I've heard a lot about Titan and Europa, though I doubt I remember the specifics. As aforementioned, all the planets (and their moons and whatnot) are interesting to me, but of course the ones that do so the most are those that could potentially host alien life, such as Gliese 581.

No, I haven't talked with him yet (he never responded to me). By all means, send your message. It'll save me the work

Yeah, I do! I probably enjoy the studying of potential alien species the most, though I love most all the aspects of it. Just the mystery of the universe as a whole is very intriguing to me.

Thanks so much, man. I really appreciate that. Haha, I wanted to be a writer when I was younger, but I work in the legal field and might just be an attorney in the future. No time for books.

I always look forward to reading your posts as well.

You're welcome! And thanks!

You have some great posts in the MD. :yes:

No, I don't think so. But I don't see a problem with it. I'm sure they get emails from fans all the time.

I agree completley. It was still satisfying though because of how abrupt and random it was. As you said, the expression was hilarious.

That scene was hilarious. Although, I would've preferred it if Ikki had not come out and said it directly, and just talked a lot, hinted at it, and then told her. That would have made the scene even more hilarious.

You have an awesome sig.

Sorry dude. I got caught up in that thread. Anyways it was "Astrobiology Lecture"
