I love busting out my telescope and stargazing, especially in a desolate, open field. It's quite peaceful and there is always something new to find. See that "smudge" in the sky? That's Orion's Nebula. Or maybe the Pleiades. That dark spot over there? Not so dark through a telescope.

Grab a beer and a friend and you've got yourself a star party! I like to use an Android app called "Space Junk Lite" to help identify more celestial bodies as well. Best of all, scoping is free (after the initial investment)!

Oh this is my kind of fun. Wish I could join you.

That does sound like fun. I'd be interested in talking to you more about this, would you participate in the podcast?

Yeah sure I can do that.
