Pics are cell phone camera stuck to view finder by hand.

Those perceptive Georgians can't be fooled. The second Pic is Jupiter.

That's cool, Kalash. We have a hobby-grade telescope but can see Saturn's rings with it. Amazing how accessible this stuff is to those who are interested. Did you track the ISS when it went overhead a few months ago?

Yep, I got an app that alerts me when ISS flies over.

And I agree we are living in unprecedented time of information and 'tool' accessibility. My telescope with carry bag, extra lenses and whole 9 yards cost me $250.
