Oh sorry everybody! I typed my last msg in a hurry and didn't bother to check about the word "a**hole*. Realli sorry about that. I wouldn't use anything like that again here. But that person at telescopes.com is really quite unhelpful despite my constant mailing asking for more features on that...

Oh, do some of you actually go to the rooftop to view the skies? I was wondering how do some of you get access to the rooftop? Like bribing the security guards?

Physics is a very general degree and it is used to prove that you have a strong understanding of things and able to work things out efficiently, astrophysics is a course whereby astronomy takes up a part of the course and not totally the entire syllabus.
