Photos-Jeb came with me on stargazing night telescope

On a trip down to the south coast, I brought my telescope. It's a beat up old cheap one i got of the internet, which I fixed up at home, a week before.

Most nights were cloudy, but Jeb was still enthusiastic. I didn't tell him it was just a hall light he was looking at.WdV1csm.jpg

When the clouds finally cleared one night, we headed out to set up. AUNfU83.jpg

Collimation seemed fine, and didn't take long to get a small scope like this ready to use  grzkAuh.jpg

The sky darkened, and we saw lots of stars

I saw Mars, some clusters, and a few other things. It's a bit wobbly this old telescope, but I got some good practice finding things in the sky h8Oz5dx.jpg
