I was up in Flagstaff on Friday night and decided to visit Lowell Observatory. Near the top of Mars Hill is a little pullout where you can stop and look down at Flagstaff. I snapped a pic of the Moon and Jupiter rising over the city.
A little later in the evening, I slapped the 250mm zoom lens on my camera to try a close up of Jupiter. Although it won't win any awards, it was interesting.

Wow. That pic with the moons and Uranus is impressive.
I think orbs is just pleased with himself for constructing a coherent sentence that contained the words moons and Uranus.
Seriously, hale... those are cool.
Something tells me that I should have seen that comment coming. Anyways, I'll on the lookout for this planetary display.
Even on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, the NPR show where you expect higher levels of humor, just saying the word "Uranus" gets a big snicker from the audience.
We tried to see the moons the other night but unfortunately our binoculars just weren't good enough. Thank goodness you are here for us Hale.
