Thanks Steve,
Nice link to weather conditions. Have you had much luck in seeing detail on Uranus/Neptune? Can't seem to find a whole lot out there pertaining to amateur viewing of these-other than the link of Uranus drawings I placed.

I entered astronomey about 2 yeas ago. I would recommend the Orion skyquest XT 6 or the XT 8 (if you can afford it). I had the XT 6. It was an awesome scope for the money. I sold it and moved up in apeture. I wish I would have kept it- as a second scope. It gave excellent views of the planets. It will give your feet wet to see if you want to pursue this hobby.
