The Telescope

So we bought BJ a telescope for xmas. (I think his Daddy wanted it too). Anyway, Bobby has been messing with it trying to see things at night and get it to work. Last week there wasn't a moon, so I don't know what he was trying to look at. Anyway, he must of been out there for 30 minutes when I approached him and asked what he was doing. He said he couldn't see a darn thing out of this expensive telescope. I told him to take the lens cap off and it would work better.... LOL. That's why I have the college degrees.....
So last night it was clear and we tried again. The problem we were having, yet again, was that the lens cap was on. But after getting that off we just couldn't get the lenses to work right. One of the lenses showed the moon so close that it appeared you could stick your finger right in a crater. And man there were so many. I kept playing around with the lenses and got it right on the nose---- finally! It was barely a half moon but oh so pretty. We couldn't stop looking at it. It was mesmerizing. When BJ got out of the shower we told him to come look- that we finally got it to work. He bounced into the chair and looked through the lense and said that was cool. Wow. And left. I was dumbfounded. Who wanted this telescope in the first place???? Oh well, it is a cool toy to have and I can't wait until the moon is full. I wish I could take pictures of it through the telescope. The moon being so close and bright is beautiful and a little intimidating too.
