Scoping Things Out
Apr. 25th, 2013 11:49 pmMy telescope (except grey instead of red):

Got it out tonight to look at Jupiter and the four Galilean moons. I was using the 25mm eyepiece, which gives a 61.1X magnification. Hope to try for Saturn in a few days. Will likely use the 10mm eyepiece for that.
Edit: I've had mine for a few years. I posted this because I had it out and realized that while I'd mentioned making observations I hadn't given any specifics on my instrument.
