Anyone here that has children...

If you have a telescope, or have access to one, sharing a 'stargazing' evening can be a lot of fun.

I was lucky enough to be camping in the desert with the kids when Halebop and again when Haukitak ( I know I didn't spell either one right) But we had a blast. And all we had were binoculars. The latter was actually the more interesting of the two IMHO. As I recall it had a longer more colorful tail

Studying the heaven in the night sky is truly fun. Just by looking all the stars makes my heart get excited.
