Virtual Star Party for Jan. 31st, 2012. This was our best hangout yet, with 4 telescopes streaming into the Hangout at the same time. Over the course of the evening, we looked at more than a dozen objects, including the Moon, Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, Orion Nebula, Andromeda Galaxy, Horsehead Nebula, and more! We were joined by Phil Plait and Pamela Gay for color commentary.
Positive vibes from this video. It's cozy!

@Makrozon You can see Uranus and Neptune from Earth. They'll mostly look like small colored stars with no detail, but you can see them. Mars is hard to get a good view with a small telescope due to being quite small even though it's closest to us (compared to Jupiter and Saturn).

Wow, if Mars is so blurry than I guess it's almost impossible to see any planet beyond Saturn.
