| Viewing Mars Got a lovely view of Mars about 8pm yesterday. I'm quite chuffed that I spotted it as I was driving home and knew instantly that it was a planet rather than a star. I soon had my scope trained on it once I was home which is giving me good practice at pinpointing specific spots in the sky.
BTW has anyone else heard about a gadget that operates by GPS which you point at the sky and identifies constellations along with giving various details about them? |
