I took a walk tonight just to clear my head. Trying to write 10,000 words for an assignment is no mean task. Well it was around 8pm and the sky in Johannesburg was clear. I tried to identify Orion’s Belt as I have been doing in recent months whenever there is a clear sky. I thought to myself it’s so vast, the sky that is, but yet so simple. It has a calming effect on me. I wish I could become a star gazer and look it more often with a better understanding. Maybe I’ll do that Astronomy for Beginners course from Wits anyway.

Well done on a nice blog Blogger. I was searching for information on astronomy telescopes and came across your post So close but yet so far - not quite what I was looking for related to astronomy telescopes but very interesting all the same!
Well, it’s a new year - in fact it’s almost the Chinese New Year. I’m still putting together astronomy lesson plans for the first and second semesters. This year the budget allows us to purchase a new telescope for the science group. That’s great so we’re still juggling the numbers how to get best bang for the buck! Not the ‘big bang’ you understand LOL. I’m coming down on the side of the Meade LX200GPS 12″ Schmidt-Cassegrain. Let’s wait and see.
If you do have a moment, please take a look at my new site on: Astronomy for Kids .
A happy new year to everyone!
