Take my telescope out of the city.

Use it at least three different nights.

I did this when I was up north last month, I too my little one. It was kind of disappointing for 2 reasons.

  • I think I need a much better telescope to see anything star wise.
  • It was a night with no moon so while it wasn't distracting, it wasn't there to look at either. I'll try the other one some time, but it was a crazy one and I never had a chance to get the larger one together.
