I need a new telescope.

do you have a telescope? can someone makes some photos please?
If it's brighter than Venus, there's no way we can miss it unless clouds obscure the view.

No telescope w/camera...

It wasn't brighter than Venus last night here.  That's probably because it was a bit hazy, though, and it's really close to the horizon.

It was pretty visible with the naked eye, though, and my roommate got a halfway decent picture of it (without a zoom, even).  I'll put it up next time I boot into Linux--  i was running in Linux when he took it and I forgot to move it onto a partition Windows can read Wink.
