I had a great view of Venus next to the moon, and Jupiter up top, before testing an 100 telescope that I serviced last week.

Sometimes, you just have to take everything apart on the floor to get at the problem! Now, Fixed! Like-new. Celestron CPC 9.25" telescope remounted and running smoothly. Celestron makes something for every level of astronomer. Their gear has shown me amazing things. I am not a paid promoter. Maybe someday.😄 ,

Sometimes, the universe gives you a present. Check out the newest meteorite at a great show!

Stop on by this weekend and witness a stone from space that landed here on earth just 9 days ago, recovered by me during a search from February 18th through the 26th in Ohio. This meteor’s sonic booms shook thousands of homes, and was estimated to weigh 7 tons and was 6 feet in diameter before fragmenting. NASA considers this to be a small asteroid. It released an energy equivalent of 250 tons of TNT. This was a once in a lifetime event here in Ohio. The meteorite itself looks to be a eucrite - a part of Asteroid 4 Vesta. I’ll have the meteorites on display during the Philadelphia Mineralogical Society Gem, Mineral, Meteorite and Fossil Show this weekend!
