Wouldn’t it be great if you could use a large telescope? The VLT UT1 Antu telescope at the European Southern Observatory with a clear aperture of eight meters built in 1998 with an M1 F# of 1.75 made of Zero dur weighing in at 430 metric tons (you can see it at http://www.eso.org/) would give you some great viewing nights.

NASA scientists expect a shower of meteors to peak about two a.m. the morning of November 17th. This shower will be clearly visible without the help of binoculars or a telescope, provided the star gazer heads away from city lights and looks North towards the constellation of Leo, which rises in the East.

An enjoyable look at a beautifully clear pre-dawn sky this morning reminded me that we are able to currently view a loose planetary conjunction, with Venus, Saturn, Mercury and Mars all visible in the dark blue of the early morning sky. Better still, a slim crescent Moon on the 16th will add to this unusual spectacle.
