Coming to a star party near you (SGL8).......

Wondering if I can slide this past without the admin staff noticing...... :grin:

Linda ( SWMBO ) has just produced some 'starry' cakes to be enjoyed at SGL8, complete with astronomical themes. I have been told that you can only have one if you can identify the object on the cake ( and I'm the judge.... ), but they may also be used as bribes.

Here's a heads up so that you can start to see if you can name them.....

Please note, Linda has done a lot of work here ( yes it will probably only take a minute to undo ) but there are around fifty cakes here so if she wants to look through your big dob then you'd better comply.....

works of art that you can eat its a win win situation

They're fun

I see lots of Orion and Taurus and a few Ursa Major/Minor, as well as Cassiopeia, Hercules and Auriga. I reckon I see the Coathanger too, and perhaps Kemble's Cascade, but I'm going out on a limb a bit there. Jupiter's obviously there and I fancy I can spot M13 and M57, but some of the others I might struggle with.

Sorry James, but I think you may have confused something ( not nearly as welcome ) for the Big Fella!!!

What's that one in the bottom image half way down the left hand side then? The one with two horizontal stripes?

If I told you James then all those at SGL8 would know too, and that would give the game away. :grin:

Clue: Think of a recent event.....

I think I have spotted Quasar J657.44.1, Cluster Biurakhan 2 and Galaxy MCC 23.45.33 but I dont want to give

the game away so I'm not saying which ones they are.....

Oh! It's thin slits of sky visible through the cloud!

I see the constellation 'Calorie' . Good job I'm not going to SGL8, I'd be at your table the entire time with a sky pocket atlas. om nom nom nom

Love a cake me you'd never tell from looking at me (high metabolism)

May have to drive up...

[Stargazer_00]

She could do one with orange topping to signify light pollution!

They look amazing! Hats off to anyone with the time and dedication to produce that many astro themed cakes. Looking forward tro taking a really close look - hope there's some left when we get there on Friday
