Sweet pics! Did you locate Saturn using Google Sky Maps?

**CRKhead** · 05-26-2010, 09:21 AM

I remember the first time I saw Saturn when I first got a telescope... Not many people shared my enthusiasm, but it was pretty cool... Great pictures, thanks for posting them!

No, I've been into astronomy for a while and it's kinda second nature to locate the larger planets but Google Sky Map is a great tool to help locate deep sky objects.
If you want to know if a bright star in the night sky is a planet or a star just remember that childhood song, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", Well planets don't twinkle but star's do. Star's twinkle because of the atmospheric turbulence and planets are a lot closer to the earth so the turbulence doesn't effect them like it does star's.

Nicely done! I have a as well as a few other telescopes at my disposal. Did you just slap this up the to the eyepiece and let her rip? Did you mount the phone somehow? Now you have me wanting to try this with my Droid... ;-)
