We got a telescope the other day and we’ve been trying it out. We got to see Venus, which looked like it was crisscrossed with lines—which, it turns out, is normal because it’s a very bright object which affects the diffraction (whatever that it is). Cloud cover also contributes to that.
But we were able to focus it!
The other challenge is how to connect my smartphone to it so we can get pictures. The adapter that came with the telescope doesn’t work the greatest. We ordered a different one and we have our fingers crossed.
I wonder if we were hexed with Bert the Bartlett Pear and his mischievous minions.
I’ll keep you posted.
