Oh well, its probably been knocked off the list now as there has been no one replying it. Instead i posted a poll yesterday, 4 or more people have already replied already.
Went to see LOTR today...it was great...highly recommended. ***** star!! The Embasy which was the first cinema to screen it was done up, pretty amazing, there was a huge 20ft carved cave troll on the enterance roof.
Congradulations on your purchasing your 1st telescope! Was the a view finder you were talking about? They can get quite anoying somtimes as they never stay where u want them to. bugger about those snow storms. we never get anything like that here. The ranges about 40km away have only little snow on them then there are the volcanoes, one which is active (eekk), but thay are about 200 km away (90-120miles, somewhere about there)...

hope thats not too boring chat.

have an ex 2002!!!
I was wondering whether u believe this is the 2nd or 3rd yr of 21st century/melenium?

i saw LOTR a while ago too.it is really good!ya its a wierd finder scope.it has a red dot kinda like a lazerpointer,it looks like a bigger verion of a lazer pointer except you can't see the dot unless you are looking in it.well on space.com i asked how to align it and one guy told me to get about 200-300 yards away and point at a street light or a top of a tree.i live in the city and it twists and turns so i need a new way b/c its too close.i think it is the 3rd yr of the 21st century right?c ya

nicscifi · 4th January 2002, 10:18 PM

Okay, thats somthing like what i did but were facing a hill so its a lot easier than in the middle of a city. Umm, im starting to run out of things to say...anything interesting going on there?
It's been very cloudy up here so havn't had a chance to outside. Walked up Mount Kaukau yesterday (about 45-1hr track) Very nice view.

Well it's scifi saturday today!! But season one of farscape finished last week (4 the second time), hope theyre going to show season 2. Roswell waz on lastnight, the eppies are later than they use to be (10pm), and max got drunk...funny...hehe:rolly2:

hmm.what season was that on?are you sure it was max because micheal just got drunk in the last eppy.max said "i already told you not to drink because of what happened to me when i got drunk" i haven't seen that eppy before but its cool.i finialy got my finder scope aligned and saw jupiter,m45,rigel and sirius,and the moon.jupiter i am prob gonna have to get a barlow to see it better,i just see a white round ball with 2 brown stripes going across the front and bottom of the planet.i couldn't find saturn for some reason but the moon very fine detail.its really cloudy tonight though.in new zeland(sp?),does it have alot of grass and trees and land?or do you just live in the city?where i live they are taking out most of the trees and building houses so there are practicly no trees anymore.

nicscifi · 5th January 2002, 02:43 AM

Im in the suburbs, about 10 mins out of the capital, which is a very small city compared to us standards. It's spelt ZEALAND by the way. there is a lot of farmland in the nth island, more sheep than people! baaaa
There are qiute a few native bushes left.
I don't get the huge bright lights of downtown, only get to see about 1/2 the sky as were surrounded by hills. Down here, saturn is suposed to be in the North to west direction, quite high up.
Last time i went up, saw a bright star very close to the moon, looked at it, had a definate shape but compaing the place to the sky chart couldn't find out what it was, can u help me with that?

Im talking about season 1, 4 roswell.:alienooh:

bye

Nic

themuMmy · 5th January 2002, 02:49 AM

so you can see alot of stars then,that would be really cool.umm,about a month ago jupiter was very close to the moon.there were alot of questions as of what it was,but it was jupiter and its moons

the moon looks so different at high magnification.c ya

nicscifi · 5th January 2002, 03:00 AM

must hav been, i didn't see any of the moons like i did when i first viewed through the telescope bec it was too close to the moon?
hav u signed up on the other sites it told u about?
ummm yeah.
im procrasinating at the moment, supposed to finishing of my curtains, theyve got constellation symbols on them, pretty cool.
what music u into: try these sites if u dont know them: www.mp3.com and www.audiogalaxy.com
gotta go

cya

themuMmy · 5th January 2002, 09:06 PM

ya i think that the light pollution of the moon would block jupiters moon depending on how close it was,as it got farther away you could see it.i use to be really into music,i have visited both those sites,but now i have kinda dropped out of liking music and barely listen to the radio at all.now i am doing space

what music u like?

nicscifi · 5th January 2002, 10:52 PM

Well im into allsorts of music, but nothing classical or heavy eg some rock

Instrumental is the fase im going through such as movie themes...downl;oaded heaps!

But there was somthing weird, jupiter wasn't maked on the map, oh well.

What is your fav planet/moon???

I would hav to go with Europa

caio

themuMmy · 6th January 2002, 07:13 AM

hehe.i went threw that.loved those movie themes.i am in a movie thing right now,i see practicly every movie that comes out and if i don't see it i really don't want to.but i always have opinions on every movie.if you ask me what is my fav movie of 2002 i could prob tell ya.lol....2003 is easy,matrix!my favorite planet is jupiter and my fav moon is either Io or Ganymede.i saw jupiter and the 4 large moons.this is my last night to stay up late to look at stars untill a week if not more

what eyepieces do you have for your scope?i have a 26mm and a 10mm,i am going to get a 3x barlow from meade in a couple months for planets.

nicscifi · 7th January 2002, 05:15 AM
