stargazing

i tried to add this pic the other day, but for some reason the computer was having trouble with it. we went out a couple nights to see what we could see. it was a nearly full moon the whole time grandpa was here, so we couldn't see as much as we would have if it were darker, but i think everyone (including a few of our neighbors) had a great time with grandpa's telescope.

we got a close up view of the moon, the andromeda nebula, the pleiades (seven sisters), betelgeuse (beatle juice), and a few others. as you can see, even the girls had a great time looking. i wish it hadn't been so cloudy!
