A nice one to simulate - it looks
much better in Celestia.

HELLO!!! ITS ME FROM ARGENTINA!!!!
A TALKED YESTERDAY WITH A TEACHER FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL WHERE I STUDIED HERE AND HE GAVE ME HIS TELESCOPE!!!! ITS NOT A VERY GOOD ONE, REFLECTOR F=700mm D=3", 2 EYEPICES 20mm AND 6mm, BUT IT HAS NOT QUICK FINDER. SO IT WAS VERY DIFFIUCLT TO ME TO FIND ANYTHING TO SEE. HOWEVER I COULD SEE THE MOON AND YESTERDAY THE CONJUNTION BETWEEN THE MOON AND MARS. WHAT AN AMAZING VIEW WHEN I SAW THE MOON, ALL THE SHADOWS! I MKE ALL TEH FAMILLY SEE IT, IS THE FIRST TIME I SAW THE MOON WIT HA TELESCOPE, AND WILL NOT BE THE LAST!!! MARS WAS NOT SO BIG, BUT I THINK THAT I COULD SEE THE POLAR REGION WITH THE ICQ. THE MONTURE OF THE TELESCOPE IS NOT SO GOOD ALSO. BUT ITS A TELESCOPE AT LAST! I ALSO SAW ONE NEBULA ON SAGITARIUS, BUT I DONT KNOW WHICH. WHAT I WANTED TO FIND WAS THE CLUSTER NEAR ANTARES, BUT I COULD NOT FIND IT(I HAVE SOME MAPS), HOW CAN I FIND IT???
WELL NOTHING MORE FROM HERE.
MAYBE I?LL POST SOMETHING AGAIN ONEDAY.
BYE!!!!!

Aw!! ElPelado, do you have a CapsLock-stuck keyboard?
Or it's a lot of enthusiasm all dropped at once?
