wow i think its really cool to be able to see another planet from your own backyard!

Very impressive. Wouldn't mind having that scope in my back yard!

Venus is pretty jittery in the images, is that all atmospheric turbulence or was the scope being bounced by the wind a bit?

[rollmebackagain]

I think that's the telescope moving around a bit. Could be wrong though..
