Title: Hot Tub with the Northern Lights-This month!
Post by: aduvall on January 22, 2009, 11:11:59 pm

For those of you who love the "Northern Lights" and live in the north. Thiers a chance to see them on Janurary 25th or 26th.

So those of you in the north this would be a nice night(s) to get out in the spa and stargaze while waiting for the show!

I'm so jealous. I have been waiting for years to see them. Being in Michigan, I don't think I'll ever get the chance...I guess I'll have to go to polar bear county to see them one year?

We had a nice viewing of the northern lights several years ago, it stretched as far south as us here in Ohio  Its the only time in my life to see them.  Like most other things, city lights really diminish their beauty.

WOW! being in Michigan I would have loved to see that!

I know what you mean with the light polution. We have a hard time picking up good nebula's with our telescope. We are hoping to take a trip to the great north for both the northern lights and some great telescoping!  ;D

So is this your first cruise? We traveled on Carnival cruise lines and we had a good time. We thought about other liners but without really getting someones good testimony, its hard spending all that money. I hope you have a great time!  :)

WOW! Now thats a telescope!  :o

With that who needs to view photographs from the hubble. ;D

We have a Celestron 5" reflector and a 110 williams Optic refracter and they are working wonders on clear nights.  It was either the HS hot tub or a  12" telescope and we ended up with the hot tub. Afterall who needs three telescopes or have time for them with a hot tub?
 
We have traveled Carnival a few times, mostly because we always stop over in Disney world along with it. Next year the kids will be at that age where my husband and I can go alone. We have been looking around at various destinations and ships. The RC has always been one of those to try.  I have heard the food is a whole lot better than carnival , but the rooms were smaller???
 **But then again, who spends a lot of time in thier rooms?
