LOL! Ya think you've got enough telescopes, Chris? You've got one for each of you, and Sophie isn't even tall enough to reach hers. :lol:

Great shots, thanks so much for sharing them. :)

Here's something for you to look for Chris, and don't forget; we want pics, and snowstorms and blizzards are no excuse if that's what's coming in your forecast. :lol:

Space Weather News for March 17, 2016
http://spaceweather.com
GREEN COMET APPROACHES EARTH: There's no danger of a collision. However, a small green comet named "252P/LINEAR" is about to make one of the closest approaches to Earth of any comet in modern times, sailing just 5.4 million km from our planet on March 21st. Moreover, the comet appears to have company: A possible fragment of 252P/LINEAR will fly by just one day later. A weak meteor shower could follow the double flyby near the end of March. Visit Spaceweather.com for more information.

Wow, look who has resurfaced! Great shot Chris, thanks for posting it. Now we know why you haven't been around for so long. It's because you're out in the stratosphere and beyond! :lol:
