Mother dearest recently purchased this instrument...
Where we were able to at least capture the moon!
Not the best of quality. I basically stuck my camera right on the eyepiece. I'm amazed it looked even that good. I'll have to purchase the camera attachment. The telescope is a 4.5" (144mm) Newtonian telescope (I think that's the right term). We tried to look at Venus tonight, wasn't coming in so well. I'll have to play with it tonight and also set it up properly so I can use R.A and declination. Also, the moon's pretty bright this night.
Any other astronomers here?

Code to the left of him, code to the right of him, code in front of him compil'd and thundered. Programm'd at with shot and $SHELL. Boldly he typed and well. Into the jaws of C. Into the mouth of PERL. Debug'd the 0x258.
