The Swimming Beard Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Who of you have an interest in astronomy? What telescope(s) so you own? What is your favorite type of object to observe? In other words, discuss astronomy here. Quote "I pitea the fool!"

Klak Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I'm a bit of an astronomy fan. Galaxies and nebulas fascinate me the most I guess.SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!

UltraHau Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 10" Dobsonian owner here. Hello again, Toa of Smooth Jazz. :)I'd probably say my favorite objects to observe with my scope are M31 (the Andromeda galaxy) and Saturn. M51 (the Whirpool galaxy) is also pretty nice to look at, but M31 has a lot more detail. I'd probably show someone who doesn't own a telescope Saturn first, though - it's absolutely breathtaking on a good night.P.S: MakutaKlak, I love your Mega Man Zero avatar.

The Swimming Beard Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 I Also own a 10" Dob. I agree that M31 is very interesting to observe, but I would have to say my favorite object to observe is the Leo triplet. Strange really, it's not that special. I've just always liked to observe it.

I wish to get a good telescope someday. Seeing Saturn would be quite breathtaking.

The Lord Of Wednesday Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I don't have a good telescope for this sort of thing, but I do love astronomy. Personally one of many favorite places to at least think about is The Hubble Ultra Deep Field. I also love how space-time works across great distances of our universe.
