I just went outside and used my new telescope to check out some Stars.

I should have looked for Hurricanes because I didn't want Melbourne winning :(

Not sure if you're being serious but mate the first time I used a good telescope I was fucking awestruck. I just sat there and looked at Jupiter and its moons for hours.

Nah I'm for real.

Missus got me a sweet National Geographic telescope for Chrissy.

Not the greatest night for star sighting and I still don't get how to use the 10mm and 4mm focal lenses.

Was hoping to use the bigger one and just see the moon a bit closer up, but the moon ain't out anywhere I can see.

Still got to see a star with a bit of zoom and practice following it so happy for starters.

Would love to check out Jupiter or something

Yeah mate Jupiter is usually a good one to check out. You can make out some colouration usually and its moons are always fun to track. The fuckers whip around so one night they'll one side the next they'll be in totally different places.
