Telescope Time.

For Christmas this year, I got a telescope. (I, Ben) I have been able to run out side at times, and look at some starts for a bit, until I couldn't feel my hands, and had to waddle inside.
As it got warmer, I was able to stay out side longer, and longer. Finding more and more interesting things. Learning more about space every time I went out.

RECENTLY. I was looking around, and decided to see if I could see Saturn at all.
Expecting to see just another white dot, I opened up a star app on the iPod Touch, and used it to find the planet. I focused the telescope on it, and.... What....?
No way. No gangsta wangsta way. You can see the rings!?
This picture is a little blurry, but with your eye, just to give you an idea of how clear and big it was, you could see the space inbetween the ring, and the planet.


Here is a close up picture:
The little lens flare, (Why there are two planets) and also why the pictures are blurry, is because I took an iPod with a camera, and stuck it on the lens and had to keep it really still, and find the perfect spot to take a picture. it took like, 15 minuets.

Just to help you see.
