A reason to get up early

[LGTrotter]

What a big beautiful thing. Both your moon and the tube!

Do I detect a new note of awe and wonder in your telescoping which was unachievable with the four incher?

You surely do. I haven't had a clear shot at Jupiter yet as it is very misty here but the views I got of the moon earlier this evening were stunning compared to the smaller scope. Very pleased

Can we get a quote from our astronomy and cosmology correspondents on the Newsnight report on the lack of activity during the current peak in solar activity? Are we in for the mini ice age predicted?

Yes.

Yes.

Thanks, I think that answers all the questions.

[DRT]

Prompted by Owen's question I decided to give some star gazers my thoughts on the matter.

My god. That was an uplifting read.

It had the desired effect. I have flushed-out a believer. Now it is time to turn up the cold

Yes I see that. Really Derek, it's cruel to toy with them like this.
Shall we have a tasting at the Frost Fair? We could have a table on the Thames.

Yes. We should have a tasting of cold-filtered un-filtered LBVs. That way we could evaluate a category of Port and pay homage to a delusion at the same time.

You're on a roll tonight. Did you get a speeding ticket today?

[DRT]

I'm coming out of the man-flu nightmare but haven't yet given up the medication.

This is a beautiful place to be.

It's quite fun watching too.

That makes you my Dice-man.

1 = another codeine
2 = another paracetamol
3 = another steak
4 = another tramadol
5 = another Aberlour
6 = three more Talisker

Roll it...

[jdaw1]

Life coach here. You know better. Perhaps you choose to pretend not to know better.

[djewesbury]

A 3 and a 4... What a combo!

[DRT]

You took too long. I decided on water and some humus with a celery dip.

You total liar. Not even JDAW believes you, and him with his earnest desire to trust in your better nature. I can smell that Talisker from here.

The T18yr certainly has an aroma that travels

I did not believe him.

If we may leave behind us the trippy shenanigans of last night and return to health giving, life enhancing astronomy I notice that there is a 30" mirror for sale as discussed here: http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/20531 ... 34-mirror/
And yet all has access to is Derek's twelve incher. It would seem that there is more to it than finding a big enough tube and garden to put it in, but still, a man should dream.

[DRT]

That is a very big mirror. If it were to be mounted in the same type of telescope that I have the tube would be twelve feet long and the eyepiece (where you look through) would be between eight and twelve feet above the ground depending on what you pointed it at.

I think I'll stick to my tiddler.

Am I correct in assuming that Owen is looking for a new tube to help enrich his nocturnal activities?

[Alex Bridgeman]

Prompted by Owen's question I decided to give some star gazers my thoughts on the matter.

In an effort to catch up with threads, I clicked on the link - only to be told "Sorry - we couldn't find that".

Has DRT been deleted from the Stargazers Lounge?

[DRT]

It works for me.

[Glenn E.]

Doesn't work for me, either. It appears that you must be a registered member in order to use the link. Oddly, Owen's link does work for me.
