haha yea.. hope the fully auto scope can be shown off soon!

We also saw Uranus yesterday! The peek at Uranus by using GOTO capability really reminded me that technology is indeed useful.. it's making me reconsider whether I should remain manual or change to GOTO if and when I upgrade my scope!
Stargazing ... is an excuse to stay up past bedtime that never fails!
