Your-an-us is the furthest planet I've viewed w/ my 10" dob. A little tiny aqua pin head. Neptune was supposed to be near-by but I couldn't find it. So much light pollution going up into the sky in years past, I'll probably never see it again from my current location.

The jokes been done once or twice before on this board w/ countless amateur astronomers. It's a good a one. I just assumed we were moving on to the meat of the article.
I could do the follow up "Klingons" joke if that's called for, Q.

When the Moon is in the 7th House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then Peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

Thank you Para for posting this.
I was able to get a picture of Jupiter and four of its moons using my camera on a tripod with a 300mm zoom lens.

It would be cool if you could post up a pic whenever possible.

I have never been able to figure out how to post pictures very good. Every time I tried in the past it took me forever to figure it out and most of the time they posted huge.
I could email it to someone to post if that is possible.

Careful Para, the Klingons are circling Uranus.

Thanks for the notice! I set up my spotting scope and showed my mom and my SIL saw what I think was Jupiter (had about 4 or 5 moons), saw Mars and also managed to see the rings of Saturn.

Had a nice look at the craters on the moon as well.

There’s a referendum to change the name of Uranus to end all the jokes once a for all.

The new name will be Urecktum.

I've been known to tell a Uranus joke or two.

Thank you Skins2881 for posting the picture for me.

Thank you mark123 for offering to post my picture.

One of these days I will figure it out how to post pictures. I have my avatar picture posted somewhere to be able to use it on the forum, I just have to find where. My wife has a photo bucket account so I thing this is where it is at.
At some point I am going to have to learn how to use it if this is where it is at.

Thanks again.
