'Extremely rare': April comets may put on a show for sky watchers
By Ellen Phiddian

Two comets are currently hurtling towards the Sun. If they survive the trip, they may put on a dazzling show for Australian stargazers this month.

I'm past midlife, but that doesn't mean I'm past the midlife attractions.

I've a predilection for the #Linux and #SlideRules myself, and an even bigger interest in #Telescopes . But there is something to be said for Italian motorcycles.

yo fedi space gazers. i kinda need some recommendations on a good telescope. i'm looking for a reflector telescope, preferably with a tripod and descend magnification to do planetary, cluster, close-by galaxy and nebula observations. maybe with an option to add a camera adapter to it. not to expensive nor too cheap, like good price quality ratio. it should also be somewhat portable, since i plan to take it with me to the mountain cottage
