How many astronomers does it take.....

Thread of the Year so far!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:


Seanie.

He's bionic you know. He has servocat motors to raise and lower it.

Are you observing Mars at the Zenith or are you just happy to see me?

He had to go to the doctor to get burns treated. He left the dew straps on full overnight

Impressive size. You'd want to see the amount of counterweight he needs

He's not very adventurous though. He wont let the missus tweak his collimation knobs.

He always wears protection. When he goes out for a session he always packs his shroud...'cause, ya never know, I might get lucky (with a clear sky) tonight'

.....Ok I'll stop now!

Dave must be a very popular guy at (star) parties. :laugh:

There is no question everyone would love a look with that monster in front of them. :laugh: :laugh:

I wonder how many offers he gets every time he struts it out. :laugh:

Speak about &^#^%) envy with Dave around. :laugh:

Most frequent question asked from Dave: how often do you use this thing??? :laugh:

How deep can you go with this monster? :laugh:

You must be damn proud of this baby! :laugh:

Dave, you da man! :laugh:

Anthony.

You should see the size of the black shroud I have to put on it,
Not only does it stop it getting wet, it also keeps prying hands away. :ohmy:
It so big, I need one person at one end fiddling the collimation knobs while another watches where the read laser goes at the other end.

were gonna get banned, banned I tells you :stooges:
Anthony/Keith, you are evil :evil: :devil:

Worst thing about it is that if your in the
way when he swings it around
you may get knocked down.
Still, better than getting knocked up I suppose.

:woohoo:

Yes, having one that big can be a liability.

Personally, I prefer a more compact one. The type that can be tackled with just one hand. :scope:

It is also quicker to set up and get down again. I'm not one for the all night sessions like Dave.

Frank...this is all your fault :lol:
