Here's some red meat for the GFY nutters out there...
 

Don't say I never did anything for you.

I stopped going to my boy's corp events years ago but I remember the last one I attended (in Turks, try to have fun with people who are basically ruling a modern Rhodesia and find that state of affairs peachy) I got completely fed up and told every pompous fuck who asked what I did (waiting until my husband's back was turned before hitting on me while mocking everything I'm about) that I was an ancient alien theorist

I recall that night as being very peaceful after that, they left me alone and I hung out with the bartender who was an actual friend until the event was done and time to ditch the heels and go dancing

incidentally your pic is a perfect tagline for the history channel

Wow man, How close it could be to people like us?

I´ll keep an eye out for this! Gary bought me a telescope for our anniversary 2 weeks ago. It´s not a huge scope, just a starter scope, 1 mtr long with 90mm lens, but it´s great to see the rings of saturn and the amazing colours in Jupiter. It also is great to view double stars 5 light years away...

I´m so looking forward to seeing what ever it is that orbits or travels across our system!

If everything is upside down, you have a decent scope.

Check again. Are you sure it's not a bottle of wine?

it´s a refractor 90mm, like the middle level for a dedicated astronomer, or top level for a beginner, anything less than a 70mm is not worth looking through, i.e. Saturns rings would look blurred.

i´d only wanted to look at the craters on the moon and maybe look at some stars sometimes, Gary always goes overboard when buying presents for me :1orglaugh

After studying scopes before purchasing the right one, it seems the reflector scopes are generally better for looking at galaxies & deep space, refractors directing on detail, for the similar detail a refractor 90mm shows, a reflector would need to be at least 130mm.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing this huge lump of crap flying through space in a months time :winkwink: :1orglaugh


why would he buy me a bottle of wine, we keep bottles of bubbly and litres of wine in the fridge...

another great reason to enjoy Spain :thumbsup
