  1. Naturally, skies get totally clear with good seeing only when I am sipping some nice wine with friends, away from my home and my telescope :) LOL

  2. about 1 year since Phobos-Grunt failure :(

  3. Need a new portable mount for grab & go wide field dSLR imaging and basic planetary! The 200P + Eq5 are just too big and gathering dust.

  4. Big fat raindrops! Now I don't regret I went out drinking instead of setting up the 200p outside :P

  5. Sky is good, with Jupiter high in the sky. But I think I had too many drinks tonight and I might be unable to handle my scope :S :( :(

  6. Yesterday I most likely failed the Math exam at the college :P And today I did a horrible job with programming in Java. & the skies are totally covered out there.

      I think our education system often gets it wrong. You see, from my perspective, it's okay to fail. If you're not failing, you're not pushing yourself, you're not growing.

      That is true ! :)

  7. Final assessments week at college! And then it will be ASTRO TIME :)

  8. Last night I dreamed that I was trying to keep Jupiter in the FOV of a high mag eyepiece but it would disappear quickly due to poor tracking! My first observing-dream :D

  9. Last night I dreamed I was imaging Jupiter :D :D :D

  10. eBay sucks: second hand things that are more expensive then brand new ones!

  13. New FLO order: done!

  14. New Order: Telrad, Bahtinov, Vixen Eyepieces. Yay! Hopefully I will have ONE chance to use them in my lifetime :D

  15. Accuweather says it's good seeing but partly cloudy. Let's try out DSLR + Telescope after 6 months.

  16. Thumbs Up if you hate ASTROLOGY and when people confuse it with Astronomy!

      I often wonder that when the 'newer' planets were discovered (Uranus, Neptune et al) if this messed up astrological predictions forever.

  17. I believe time doesn't exist as such. It's just a helpful metre for our limited brain.

      If you can observe it and measure it, then it exists.

      This would have been a good topic to post, you would bound to get many opposing views I'm sure.

      I agree with both the previous comments - time does exist but not necessarily to same for everyone.
