I saw a Saturn commercial. Apparently they're making hybrids.

My HS physics teacher built a couple telescopes and used to have viewing sessions every so often. Saturn was always cool though you couldn't quite see colors, but the rings showed up pretty well.

I took these pics tonight of Saturn and Jupiter through my telescope. I'm still trying to figure out the image processing so hopefully I'll get better at it.

Wow, those are WAY clearer than I would've ever expected from some regular yahoo's telescope AND taking a pic through it. Good jorb!

Now can we have a pic of Uranus?

...and sports cars. :confused:The little Saturn Sky roadster is just a rebranded version of the Pontiac Solstice. Both look great but they're woefully underpowered for "sports" cars. (the 2.4L engine only makes 177hp) If I'm gonna drive something that looks like that, it needs to get up and go.

Saturn is touting a 260hp, turbocharged version of the Sky in the "future cars" version of their website, but there's no release date given. That would probably be pretty zippy.

Great photos, widescreen.

I want a camera attachment on my telescope.

While I'm wishing, I want a camera with an extendible, flexible screenviewer, so I don't have to stand on my head.

There are degree's of Yahooness that you have never imagined.
Some day when you grow up maybe Widescreen will take you on as an apprentace. Then perhaps you can take your own Uranus pic.

Uranus and rimshot should never appear in the same post. Evar.

My telescope is not very good, but the first time I saw those two planets it took my breath away. I'm so thankful that a supreme being that was capable of making the universe, also took the time to make little ole' me. God is great!
