[QUOTE="tslots, post: 604736, member: 245"] I've enjoyed viewing the night sky off and on for many years. Via binoculars or my small refractor, the moon, sun and solar system objects were always a delight. Constellations and DSOs were more difficult as I mostly lived in highly populated urban areas with tons of light pollution. Still I did attend the occasional star party and saw quite a few nebula, galaxies and star cluster via monster sized reflectors (light buckets). I never mixed tobacco and telescope viewing as I read long ago that nicotine is very bad for night vision. The smoke is also bad for optics. But smoking a pipe under dark summer skies and contemplating the words of Carl Sagan ("We are all made of star stuff") is a good experience. [/QUOTE]
