I am in New York, will be going to a fairly dark spot.
Using a Meade ETX 90. Besides the moon, can anyone suggest any particularly interesting/pleasant sights that I will be able to see? I will also be bringing someone who hasn't seen much so maybe some eye candy (HA! in NY?) would be good for him. TIA ---Atreju--- |
