I'll tell you a secret about observing astronimical objects through a telescope: - GoFuckYourself.com

When you're peering through an eyepiece:

-- very few things are colorful, like you see in pictures. Mars is one of the few things that's colorful

-- you can't really see galaxies at all. They're just sort of globs.

What telescope are you using? My LX-850 shows awesomely clear galaxies, etc. If I weren't on long-term travel, I'd snap you some pics to whet your appetite.

The telescopes that see galaxies absolutely suck for seeing planets; you need one of each.

Everything is colourful. All stars and Galaxies produce a very wide spectrum of light which provide clues about their makeup but you can't really see this with a basic home telescope, but with a 50x or 100x telescope, you can see the color bands on Jupiter that make up the clouds.

If you have a 6 inch telescope you can see more color detail in Jupiter that includes clouds and various spots.

If you want to see something cool, wait until winter and then look for the Orion Nebula, just south of Orion's Belt. It has a cloud dust and gas made of hundreds of forming stars which can produce nice colours. This is probably the only one you can see since it is one of the closest (about 1200 light years I think) from Earth.

No, but bringing a telescope to a park at dusk is a total chick magnet. I set up my 12" Dobsonian and start tracking with the ecliptic, and 20something hotties start approaching me to take a peek through the eyepiece. Before I know it, we're in the back of my van and I'm balls deep in her.

Then we spend the weekend in my apartment and I dress her up in all kinds of underwear I've collected from previous victims and arrange her in sexy poses before dumping her body at the city landfill.

Wrong, stupid.

You do know that "red" giants and "blue" giants are, well, white, don't you?

For the first time ever, NASA beamed a song -- The Beatles' "Across the Universe" -- directly into deep space at 7 p.m. EST on Feb. 4, 2012.

The transmission over NASA's Deep Space Network commemorated the 40th anniversary of the day The Beatles recorded the song, as well as the 50th anniversary of NASA's founding and the group's beginnings.

Two other anniversaries also are being honored: The launch 50 years ago this week of Explorer 1, the first U.S. satellite, and the founding 45 years ago of the Deep Space Network.

12"?!?! Why can't you see color in the galaxies? Try setting up a camera with a long exposure -- you should be FINE at that size, especially on a dob mount.

When I'm at the park with my 12" scope, and an attractive solo woman walks by, I say, "I'll bet I can find you a star that's the exact color of your eyes."

About 95% of them either ignore me or say something dismissive or rude. When one of them takes me up on it, I slew the scope to Aldebaran.

She looks through the scope, and after a few seconds, says, "Wait, that star's just white."

"You're right," I say, "and the conjunctiva of your eye is white, too." Then I cup my chloroform rag over her mouth and nose while she's still bent over the telescope.
