![]() wrote in message oups.com... Anyone have a guess what that object may have been? Since you seem to be halfway serious about this, I recommend you get a program like Starry Night. http://store.starrynightstore.com/cpack2006.html Then, when you wonder what this or that star is, you'll be able to tell exactly in seconds. I think this would be a better $50 investment before you run out and get a new telescope. |
