How many of yall think its romantic to look at the planets & stars? Of course I mean with a telescope. I would especially like to know the thoughts of any saggis, & most definitely my beloved Aquarius Ladies.
Starry Night
Im with ToC on this one. The telescope turns the situation from romantic to scientific.

Maybe it can LEAD to romance as opposed to being romantic itself (the telescope shit). I just think its incredible to see other planets. As far as looking at the stars whilst drunk and/or high in the grass is a beautiful thought. Too bad I dunno many places here to star gaze 😭 dirty ass city air...

Im a Libra, can I play?
Yea?
Cool...
😄
I dont know how romantic it is to star gaze with an actual telescope, but I think its romantic to just lie on the grass looking up at the stars... as long as there is a bottle of wine too 😄
Drunk star gazing is awesome...
Winner winner chicken muhfuckn dinner. I love people who can appreciate moments like that!
Nothing fascinates me more than space and planets so I totally feel ya there.
You got an Aqua lady youre trying to impress or were you just curious?

A lil of both..except she's a saggi..I was also curious to see how many aquarians would agree with my thoughts

Saggi's like the outdoors, so if you have a telescope, whip it out on a picnic blanket and crank the wine. Make sure you have the romantic setting otherwise it will be just like what Shadows said.... a scientific experiement.
Aw ok cool. Thanks for the input love. It's sooo ironic to see that MANY people I don't know bring up the topic of wine in our convos..& my real name is Shiraz LOL.

I've looked at the Moons of Jupiter...Quite an spectacle...Mercuries peculiar orbit...Venus' oddity (it doesn't belong in our Solar System...And the funny thing is that it's compared to Satan and Women...).
I didn't have enough magnification to look at Neptune...Would've loved to see the Blue Marble...
Good shit mane. It would be my first time looking through a telescope but is there anything u would suggest? In terms of kinds of scopes, power, etc.?

It depends on your budget and location...Light pollution will definitely spoil the fun. Same thing goes for your elevation and air quality (and whether you're on the North or South Hemisphere).
Normally optical telescopes are decent but you won't be able to see much. There are three subtypes: refracting,
reflecting and the hybrid mix, catadioptric. When shopping around you're looking for aperture and not magnification. Anything over 10x will require a solid tripod, otherwise vibrations coming from your hand will ruin the experience. A good rule of thumb is to not focus on price and/or zoom power since physics limits optics to 60x-75x per inch of aperture.
Dobsonians are pretty good for the money, but you're looking at $ 300+ to start (this is why I stopped this hobby).
The Moon and its craters are easy to see along with Lunar Maria. Planets will be visible as luminescent dots but you can only see all the way down to Jupiter on a clear night (and you're going to have to know how to locate them). Nebulae won't look detailed and in color since you need far more serious telescopes (observatories).
What I'd suggest though is to visit your local university. They ought to have their own observatory/telescopes. That way you can take her out for a date and you guys can do something afterward.click to expand
Ahh good idea..Im gone all that into consideration..thanks Fairy Godmother!
