Expert Profile: Doug

Expertise:  I am an amature astronomer and have been studying cosmology at Chicago`s Adler Planetarium ever since comet Hale Bopp appeared in 1997 but have always had an interest in the cosmos. I have a Celestron 4.5" f8 aperature 910 mm focal length Newtonian reflector telescope with an equatorial mount. Anyone in the Chicago area can have a look. I will need to know your age so I will know how detailed the answer should be.

Thank you for "most" of your response. I'm pretty certain that you didn't read the question clearly, however. I was typing the question for my 5 yea
