I was 35 in June and none of you lot said happy birthday to me 🙁 . Oh well on with the subject got to agree with SOIA get your self down the pub and check out some fit birds with Huge Jugs.
Astronomers are just people who like saying mmmm yes i like looking at the stars, oh dear my telescopes slipped and i just happen to be looking through the bedroom window of the people opposite. They also have a tendancy of sticking their telescopes up their bottoms. I do not know this from personal experience, just what ive been told.
I think i may add them to my list after the french.
bah. whatever floats your boat ladies. Oooh people with telescopes have gay aids
OMG !! I’ve got a telescope I have the gaidz0rz 😆
Anyone else got a hobby they want to share with us? I’ve been open about one of mine but we can treat yours with the strictest confidentiality 😉by the way mouse happy belated birthday. Now bend over I’ve got a megatelescopic present for you 😛

Searching for your planet Neon? 😉
Well mine and LeGit’s planets.
It was a bit touch and go there for a while, but luckily thanks to some decent advice from Cap’n Chronic, Beer, Wolf, Spunker and SOIA Hello Kitty’s berserker rage has been quelled and she’s gone back to playing with a stick:
No wait. She just reread SOIA’s post and has decided to become a fucking goth:
Nice going. Now she won’t stop drinking red wine and listening to The Cure.
Anyway in light of the new advice I’ve decided against a telescope, and instead will probably get some big ‘ole bins. Something like a 12×50 or 15×70. I’ve got an old tripod I can use with a mounting bracket for stargazing and I can use them for spotting when I go shooting.
If I’m not bored of astronomy after the first 20 minutes at least my purchase won’t have been a waste and if I do like it I can always break into Beers house and nick his (looks like a good bit of kit BTW). I’ll have to check out some of that software that you guys mentioned, but I’m more interested in checking out the moon at the moment. I’d kind of hoped that I’d be living on it by the time I was 35, with the wife and some kids, and we’d have a big friendly robot called Ronnie, but those lazy fucking scientists have done sweet FA about that, so I have to live in Berkhamsted instead.
Snell, I’m not sure I could afford such a high class bit of optical equipment. At least I presume it’s really high class since you don’t have to keep putting 10p’s in the hubble space telescope.

The wife’s currently a 32J 😉
And happy birthday Mouse!
Hey! That Stellarium is pretty bloody neat for a bit of open-source software. Just got it up and running on Linux and had a quick zip around the skies. Very impressive.
look up celestia. I think its free and you can go anywhere in or outside the universe
by the way Beer hows that scope for picking up deep sky objects?They used to have Tasco telescopses in either Argos or Index, but probably both. Had a dabble on my cousins years ago but there is too much light pollution around here to make any use of it anyway =/
