Anyone used this before:

SLOOH

I got this for Xmas this year and going to try it out. Right now it is daytime at the Canary Islands, so I have to wait a few hours before I can use the telescope.

Looks pretty cool (and I dig the music at the intro). It wasn't clear-- depending on your membership, can you actually "save" images taken from the telescope?

Apparently yes, and you can "move" "zoom", etc. It will be another 2-3 hours before I can use it. Once I do, I'll report back and post some pics. You can vote on "missions" and submit some (missions = things to look at). First up today is Uranus, then Mars, then some nebulas and galaxies.

Man oh Man, we can all look for UFO's around the clock. I'll give $100 for each sighting, $500 if green men are visible thru the portholes!

I promise to investigate and vet each case myself, and report that it was inexplicable! You want proof, I'll give you proof! Hooooeeeee!

God Damn, let's get to work, boys and girls! Shit, I'm so excited I'm about to orgas!
