I have one of those too! He’s 26 now, finished his Masters in Physics. Diagnosed with Asperger’s when he was 7. Memorized pi (3.14159etc) to a thousand digits, for fun!
He knows a ton about space and science, blows me away some times!

I would say if I still lived in the Joshua tree area I would be the same way!
@Fieldofdreams i agree 100000%
Yes. Ever since I got out of the military I tend rot stay on the right side of the law. Can’t say I was always this way tho. Lol
You guys and gals are all so great. Thank you for easing my mind. With all this being said……… 34 DAYS TILL START OF NEW GROW!

Well said ole chap.
Dude,
You gotta visit the Big Island for star gazing. You can drive to the top of Mauna Kea 14,000 ft or 80% of the way to the top of Mauna Loa 13,000 ft and it is the BEST viewing in the USA for sure. Maybe the world. There is NO lights just a huge ocean surrounding us.
Just dont step in any hot lava. LoL

Impressive piece of equipment. Do you follow Brian Greene, Brian Cox, Neil Tyson, et. al?
I do not, I will check the names out tho for sure, the wife and I have taken some astronomy classes at the local college tho. We love our telescope, and use it regularly. We are waiting on the new filters and lenses to come in so we can view more distant nebulae in greater detail and more distinguishable color.
You guys and gals are great parents! 
One of the cool things is that when kids are older, they will have grown up without the MJ stigmas that most of us grew up with, especially the growers’ kids. They will be educated and have much better understandings about it.

I’d start with Brian Greene. He has a way with words.
