Spectacular Meteor Shower and Rare Planet Alignment Coincide

[newone]

I only saw 3 lastnight, after figuring how to work my table top telescope. I put my camera up to the sky and it recorded ones I did not see at all; very cool.

The sky is just so amazing. I think I have serious eye strain. Do they make telescopes you can look thru with 2 eyes in this day and age???

yeppers they sure do

Celestron has some ''reasonably'' priced ones

Here's a link to one you might want to put on your wish list and spread the word to family and friends to chip in and treat you.

I tried to show this in the video I put up but I don't know if it showed up. Here it is again. People thought the world was ending.
