Wife and I take out the tele every once and a while. We have an ETX90 and 125.

Cool, I'm stuck with just my eyes and a pair of glasses. My brother showed me this website and I visit it quite often, the pics are just amazing.

check out www.heavens-above.com

They have great predictive info on Iridium flares. Coolest thing you'll see if you can catch one at -8 magnitude in a mostly dark sky.... even cooler during the day.

Nice scope dude.

Yeah, It's real good for planet observation. Took a while to learn how to prgram it. but now I have to relearn it cause I forgot how to polar align it. Once you correctly polar align it then it will follow whatever is in the eyepeice all night.. I want to get a camera mount for it too.. Just not enough time to do all this cool stuff. LOL.
