Astronomy

[Utar]

I'm not looking at Uranus

I got one for you.
What has the USS Enterprise and toilet paper have in common.
They both circle Uranus looking for Klingons.

A couple of years ago I thought seriously about getting into Astronomy but where I live the trees are thick and tall, making it really hard to see much of the night skies. I would have had to go somewhere where I could get a better view of the night sky, so I just decided not to do it.

Don't get an altazimuth, they are a real pain, espeacially with larger scopes. You are forever having to track in two directions, (right ascension and declination), at the same time, unless you are exactly on the equator of course. It might be okay on a well set up semi-permenant, (at least), mount with motorised controls. Mine had manual controls on a shaky tripod and 51N latitude...

I am hoping for clear skies. I have missed most celestial events due to our cloud cover

If you look a just below Uranus, you might be able to see the planet where @Colin_T was born....the planet ORK.

Will I get smacked with a ban stick if I bring up worm holes? Asking for a friend.

It depends on what context you use the term worm holes
