[thechat] speaking of meteors....

[Cheryl Baringer]

Hello Javier,

I've been binocular-gazing for a little while, in just a casual way. We
have too much light pollution here to get great views, though. It's the
use of the telescope itself that is my challenge now. And, as you said,
learning what's what. I can find Polaris, the north star. I can find a
few major constellations, like Orion and Scorpius, and I know how to
find the planets on the ecliptic - but only from my backyard.

I did see 5 moons around Jupiter on Tuesday, and the Orion nebula. That
was pretty cool! Literally cool, as well - I'll have to dress warmer
next time... brrrr....
