Look who's famous

[bomberbaz]

After reading the emperor's new clothes post I decided to google 16" flextube, this brought up a list and a strip of pictures. Decided to look at pictures to see what's what and about 15 pics in, this came up:

Can I have your autograph next time down shane old son   

( ps for those that don't know, this is moonshane and his 16" dob)

[Fozzie]

What..... no frac in the back ground, must be a oldish photo! ;-)

To be honest when ever I search for anything astro related or add the word review in to the subject 99 times out of a 100 SGL is in the top 5 results which is a credit to all those who take rime to share the collective wisdoms.

Bet if you kept looking there would be loads of SGLers to find...

[Pete Presland]

thats a cracking scope!

That's a beast of a Dob...

Nice one. Out of curiosity, I googled 14x70 finder scope and the first image is this as first hit

4.5" Mini-Dob gets these images in te second row

I do suspect google will adapt the search results to the person searching

In the first picture, which is the dobsonian and which is Moonshane? :eek: :eek:

Everybody does that at some point in time

[Moonshane]

LOL

I'm the one on the left although these days our proportions are more similar.

I'll have you know I only have three fracs these days (and three dobs naturally).

Steve, if you want a photo, you'll have to book an appointment with my agent.

[Moonshane]

flextube indeed.

[Peter Drew]

Funnily enough, for once I had a look at my name on Google for the first time. A couple of genuinely "famous" namesakes hogged the several first few pages, however, pressing on I eventually came across an excellent writeup about the Centre accompanied by some good photos posted by a visitor.

flextube indeed.

Haha dont blame me, it was goigle ;-)

[Moonshane]

I am famous really.......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi9Q_lSS9-g

[ollypenrice]

Moonshane needs me to model the scope. I'm not better looking. I'm not younger. I'm not better dresssed and I'm a lot balder. In short I look like a horse's ar... never mind. But... I'm shorter!!!

Do you need a firearms license for a Cannon that size?

[Moonshane]

Lol no just a helmet
