Dred_85.5_TSI Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 My contribution to this thread, I just shot this through a 60x telescope. http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/uu41/Dred_85-5_tsi/DSC00395.jpg I had four moons and I could see one of the bands on the planet. Not bad for a 50+ year old scope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turborusty Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Should we be able to see it tonight too? Im pissed I missed this yesterday, it was clear as heck out too! Article claims you should be able to see it for a number of weeks. Said you should get a good view of your anus as well. Turborusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burton Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) West coast is the... best... coast?? -Robert I dunno, I always thought the NW was too cold and rainy. Cali's nice weather, and I like the pot laws, but the cost of living and the economy there are some pretty big cons. I've only been to the Southern East coast, and aside from FL I liked that quite a bit better than the West coast. Of course, I've never been to the far NE, but I expect that to be like the NW only less rain, and less beautiful scenery, but still too cold for my tastes. I'll stick with my Gulf coast.

Not bad for a 50+ year old scope FYI: the lower band has disappeared, probably will come back, but gone for now. The Red Storm is still there, been there like 340 years or so, that's one long storm...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loye Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 I saw it peeking through the tree line from home, could see it clearly while driving. Then it disappeared behind clouds or something. I never got a good view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
