3/4 moon on a clear night so I set up the spotting scope and cranked it up to 60 power for the girls to look at the moon. Just amazing how much you can see. The girls loved it.

I've been known to use a digital camera with my spotting scope to snap pictures of the moon. Good stuff indeed.

It is amazing how fast it seams to move in the field of view between the earths rotation and the moon revolving around the earth at the same time.

With 60 power you should be able to see 4 of Jupiter's moons and the rings around Saturn. Find out where they are in your sky and start your journey through the heavens.

Will do! Kiera will love that. She is right into space etc. Thinking about getting a proper telescope for her.

Tell the truth Jeff, just getting old & had to use the scope to find the moon, LOL.
