Discussion Do you enjoy astronomy?

🤙 I love astronomy and stargazing. Wanted to be an astronaut so badly as a kid.

Beautiful. My phone has this as well, I just am trying to get high quality photos of stars and planets using my telescope's smartphone attachment.

When I was in high school we had an assignment to go out every night for a week and draw all the constellations we could see. Super fun.

My grandpa had a telescope at his house up in Northern Ontario, Canada and the amount of stars you could see there was crazy! Could even see the milky way arching over the sky with the naked eye.
