Star Gazing

Ryan and I brought our telescope out last night in the backyard. We live just on the edge of town, so we get away from much of the city lights.

The telescope we have is pretty awesome too. It has a remote control that you can select what you want to look at and the telescope will automatically move and locate it. A few of the highlights from last night's viewing included Jupiter and six moons, Andromeda Galaxy, Vega and a few other stars and galaxies.

We can't wait until later in the month for a meteor shower (August 12) and a lunar eclipse (August 26)!
