Stargazing
We finally had a clear sky on Saturday night so Brent and I went out to the U of C Rothney Astrophysical Observatory. It was bring your own telescope night so Brent finally got to really test out his telescope. Dad told us about the RAO so we all headed out there together - after some delicious Vietnamese food. The University had plenty of people out there to help newbies learn how to use their scopes. Brent really enjoyed himself and we ended up staying until the very end of the evening. He saw Saturn and Saturn's rings, as well as O'ryan's nebula. He learned how to align his scope which is the most important part! All in all, it was a very fun evening. Thanks Dad, Angel and David for a great night out. We'll have to do it again when it's a little warmer out.
