So, what’s 90mm all about. Simple really. 90mm is of course the size of my telescope, a Meade DS-90 with Autostar. Most of my observing is done with this instrument. I also use a pair of Meade 7 x 35 binoculars as well as naked eyes. There are many interesting events that take place that can be observed with just your eyes and a pair of good binoculars. In fact, this is a good way for beginners to gain knowledge about the night sky.

I don’t intend to make this blog a teaching tool for beginners, there are many excellent websites out there where you can learn about astronomy. One of the best websites that I have found is One-Minute Astronomer. They have a wealth of information on their site as well as offer an e-Newsletter and Stargazing for beginners. Another site worth checking out on a cloudy night is Astronomy Know How, where you can get Your Free Monthly Astronomy Newsletter as well as a couple of astronomy courses.

I invite everyone whom observes the night sky with naked-eyes, binoculars and small telescopes – up to and including 6 inch, to post their observations here and share with us the joy of amature astronomy. Tell us what you see and what you used to see it. Feel free to comment on the observations of others. We just ask that you keep is clean and simple. No bashing or degrading anyone. This is for everyone, beginner to expert to enjoy.

For those of you with telescopes larger than 6 inch, sorry, this site is not for you. We will only accept observations from smaller instruments.

Also, if you have any astrophotos taken with just you camera or small telescope/camera rig, we’d like to see them. Include them in your posts.
