There is a caution concerning solar film usage that should also be
mentioned.
Yes it is cheaper, but you must check it every time before use for pin
holes.

Just thought i would let every1 know that its too cold to look at the
telescope and that i miss the moon.

I've been on semi-vacation this week and it has been cloudy every night
but
last night. It was also too cold to go out, even though the moon was in a
phase I wanted to look at.

If you want to look at the sun, you can project, however that can be hard
on
the telescope. Get some solar film (Baader) and you can make a nice solar
filter

Well when it gets warm i am going to go moon gazing again and i wish i
could see jupiter and saturn.
I got a big telescope with those computer control box things and im
going
to learn how to use that.
Not that anyone cares i know.
One question is how do you look at the sun ? I mean how do you look at
the
sun through a te;lescope without going blind ?
Because i could probly do that from inside the house.
