The Texas Bucket List - McDonald Observatory

[@Josh_Fredman]

I've been to a Star Party and highly recommend it! Try to schedule your trip for a night when the moon will not be up, since moonlight washes out the stars. Bring a jacket, even if you go in summer.

When I was attending Sul Ross I went to a trip to the observatory, I loved it and recommend it.

Too bad they didn't mention who McDonald was. He was also a Texas man, from all places Paris, TX

Just to let you know... the plural of nebula is nebulae, not nebulas.

I am from Kermit, Texas...a dark skies area! Google the Northern Cross by Aquilla Fleetwood, youtube! Google Night Signs by Aquilla Fleetwood, youtube! Why would God or evolution put a Big Dipper or a Little Dipper in our night skies? Fact is...He didn't!

What type of telescopes they are?

[@desertsoldier41]

Mostly optical, large reflectors. There are some radio telescopes down the mountain.

[@jessecalindsey1191]

@@desertsoldier41 I wish I could come and visit the place soon.
