Our Mixed Flock Journey!

[drstratton]

That is amazing! What fun that will be!

It's pretty cool! I'm enjoying it a lot!

 

[drstratton]

Wow! That’s so cool!
And it’s nice to see your flock again!!

I can't wait to take pictures of the moon.
It was nice to spend some time with them and see them so happy!

You are limited to what you take in the nightime skyes. Seek out Saturn, and see those neat rings. When you find Jupiter, you can usually see 3 to 5 moons around it.
Venus, being the brightest , is only a bright spot. Mars is a red planet, but not much more with a telecope of this size.
I like to use the telescope to view nature items like you posted. One year I was observing a hawk nest thet was just outside of my yard high up in a tree.

Hi everyone! @BY Bob sorry I didn't get a picture of the wrap, I kind of ran out of time before we left for our trip!

We picked up the telescope and it's amazing! I have a lot to learn.

First a picture of my flock...I definitely haven't shared enough of them lately! Enjoying a cucumber snack!

Whoa! Did I miss something? Is that a telescope that takes photos? That is the coolest thing ever!

Good morning Cavey! Watching the hawk would be pretty cool! I know it has limitations. I saw an article that showed the expectation of what you think you'll be able to see, compared to what you'll actually be able to see! Someone told me that I will be able to see the Messier Objects and many NGC objects! I had to look both of those up...lol! They look amazing and I can't wait until I'm skilled enough to find and view them!
What kind of telescope do you have Cavey?

 

[drstratton]

Have fun with the new toy Rene!

Good morning Debby! Thank you! I just need to find the time to learn how to use it. We are still pretty busy around here...I'm really ready for a slowed down retired life...lol!

Good morning RC! The scope doesn't have a camera built in. I used my phone camera, I should be getting an adapter today that I ordered, it will hold the phone in place so that I can take better pictures. You can purchase cameras specifically for scopes and I might do that...some day! Right now my phone camera will work just fine!

What's happening in the life of my chickens today!

Spazzy decided to go broody again. I'm going to remove her from the box tonight and put her on the roost. Hopefully this will break her...it's just too hot for her to stay in the coop!

I brought in what I think is my largest egg so far! 3.3oz/94g...this is beyond Jumbo! Maybe it's a triple yolk...my poor girl! I believe this is one of my Marans!
