<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3863658, member: 19463"]Hubble is to home telescopes (including the $multi-thousand ones) as the British Museum is to my collection 50 years ago. Sometimes I think I should sell my collection and spend the rest of my life looking at pictures of coins I'll never see. Mark you calendar. There is a Transit of Venus in 2117. I became aware of them while collecting old photos and saw some of the expedition to Tasmania in 1874. That was when I lost all interest in astronomy. What those people went through was amazing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
