There was a thread o nthis a while ago...

Ah, here it is

For the record

my 8SE is just known as the Orange One or sometimes Orangina (no idea why)

my Tal is simply referred to by my wife as the proper telescope or even just the TALescope

my equinox is the "little one"

and the Starwave doesn't have a name yet (depends how long its going to stay - it hurts more to lose them if they have names;))

Welp, mine is I-rate and I-broke, ' WO zS80' and 'lx200 10' - due to needed 'repairs' on the lx and just good quality I suppose of William optics

Or just mad and out of money.

Urban Dictionary: slonky

It was cheap second hand and should be rubbish but it's actually ok. I managed to see the rings of Saturn very clearly using it.

After a bad imaging run, I'd get banned for the names it gets called.

When things go well it hasn't really got a name...

i suppose they can be called anything when it's cloudy..and you still have to go in the garage and fiddle with them.

I named my 8" SCT after fellow SGL member michael.h.f.wilkinson.

Its all his fault that i am now stuck with what is absolutely and utterly the BEST scope i have ever used.

I was going to suggest:

Vorsprung Durch Technik

But that is a bit of a mouthful and its related to VW and not Audi.

LOL
