Such terribly blurry photo but I wanted to include a shot of this home made scope. The variety of professional scopes (and hand made scopes) out there is pretty awesome.
During dusk we viewed the moon and waited it out until dark so we could view Saturn last night, as well as some pretty significant stars, like Spica and Altair. What a beautiful evening for it, too! During a viewing like this, I love how I experience a much needed perspective-shift. Puts everything back into its proper proportion down here on planet Earth... That is so helpful to me. It was also great to learn more about the moon, space and some stars from some passionate amateur astronomers (I had no idea about [the main theories of] how the moon came to be our moon until last night) and am reminded of how much there is to learn, how little I know, and how much more I want to find out!
There's a great video on the Nanaimo Astronomer's Society website, explaining how to view most of the planets in our Solar System for July, 2011, here.

The telescope holder and tripod is very useful for testing telescopes up tp 8 inches.

after my aunt offered to bake the cup cakes for our wedding cake, my grandpa started scoping out cake mix sales a few months prior.

Cheap radio flash-triggers from e-bay.
Taken in my garden but geo-tagged Kings Mill reservoir.
Scope normally wears a protective jacket, removed for this shot only.
Just a couple of scopes I made for N3. Nuff said... Enjoy!
Top scope is 222222, very dark, and bottom scope is 333333.. which I guess is still very dark, but I like it. Meant to make the top one a shade brighter, though if anyone uses it, they could just change it themselves.
