If you ever get the chance, go to the Grand Canyon's star party. There you will see all kinds of telescopes, and whatever a telescope can see, you will see it. Galaxies, planets, nebulas. Some telescopes are humongous, others small, but with extremely crisp views. Check this out.

I filled the aluminum tripod with sand to make it more stable and that is pretty heavy in it self.

Large scopes....big rocks.....what the hell is it about gravity and me???
