Night gardening added pleasure Jupiter

When I was in high school, I had a telescope as learned the star constellations. That was I long time ago and forgot much of that knowledge. However, That enjoyment has been renewed since I got this new toy called an iPad from Apple Computer. This toy has GPS built in to it. Their are apps that are just too cool. An app called "star walk" shows me the night sky on the screen. I just find the star in the sky and just touch the screen and it shows me the stars name and information about the star. It can even track planets so one find find them in the night sky.

Another app is from NASA that shows mission launches and live video feeds from NASA. My intreats in the night sky has been renewed. I am thinking about getting a new telescope some day. There is a local astronomy club I thought about attending as well.

Moon flowers may be added to my flower garden if start to spend more time outside at night.

I should disable that automatic spell checker and learn to proof read.

Google "spell catcher" a mac app.

Thanks Bill,

I got out the 8" telescope last night and for the first time in my life saw Uranus. Jupiter was nice too with four moons brightly lit.

I'd recommend anyone with even a cheap telescope of binos take a peek.
