Lots of late nights lately have me enjoying my half hour drive home from work taking in the glorious night sky.
One night recently, the family and I took our telescope out to the back yard and had a close-up look at Jupiter. It was fun to look at that little white dot and see four of it's moons in a line (three on one side of the planet, and one on the other). My son (with the sharp eyes) could also make out a few lines on the panet. When he mentioned it to me, I could make out one.
Perhaps we'll invest in a stronger lens for our telescope some day soon.
