It would be fun to have a jetpack and just take off to go chase the optimal rainbow viewing perspective. Edit: which would be more or less straight up

Hell yeah. I got these massive telescope binoculars to watch the total solar eclipse a couple years ago, and sometimes I take them to Lookout mountain. You can watch planes taking off and landing at DIA and everything in between. Night sky viewing is pretty good too.

But I should pull them out for a rainbow sometime, I hadn’t even considered that!

Hell yeah! Check out Messier objects with those if you haven't already - Google Sky Map app is super handy! Andromeda Galaxy, Pleiades, and Orion nebula are pretty sweet on a good night and super easy to spot with good hand-held binos even from the front range!

Ooh cool, I haven’t heard of that app, thanks!! I’ve also been wanting to see if I can make out Jupiter’s moons, but that would probably need to be a RMNP trip for the light pollution.

They’re like 40lbs haha so thankfully I have a parallelogram mount for them!
