What I've been up to in March and April, featuring plenty of lunar observations and outreach, and testing out some new equipment.
I've used my 4-inch Takahashi FC-100DZ extensively over the past year - here are my thoughts.
A still and crisp night with great transparency under dark skies - what more can I want?
First light for my Meade 10-inch ACF, providing images of Jupiter that are forever seared into my brain.
The UBC Astronomy Club hosts a planetary outreach event in the wee hours of the morning.
I attend Starry Nights and show the moon to 150+ people, and get my first view through the 27" PlaneWave telescope.
I share the views of 4 planets with some lucky early risers.
Finally point my Tak to Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars during the Grand Planetary Conjunction of 2022!
Impromptu lunar observations from my balcony using the 8-inch Dob and the 4-inch Tak.
Takurrito goes to the Pier at the Shipyards district to show the public some memorable lunar views.
I went through a myriad of options in search of my next telescope. My thoughts on why I decided to buy a 4-inch Takahashi refactor.
First time at Porteau Cove Lookout with my friends Hannah and Adam, and my Takahashi's first time under reasonably dark skies. Found some galaxies, nebulas, and clusters, and the Milky Way.
