Almost changed my major after I took astronomy in college. But, then I remembered there aren't many jobs in it.

Who's narrating this video? Before I watched it I thought it was going to be a Carl Sagan video.

I have a big 14" Celestron and Meade SCT scopes, but the little Takahashi takes good shots and is a easy setup.
Got some great shots tonight taking a pic of the Horsehead nebula right now.

I think I just saw June Lockhart and Angela Cartwright in one of those pics. Cool.
I hope they find their way home. I've been worried about them for years.
