afraid i'm not very inventive, but after a google found this which made me giggle :

Q: How many astronomers does it take to change a light bulb?

1) Ten! One to change the bulb, and nine to argue how their own bulb gives better colour.

2) None! Astronomers aren't afraid of the dark.

3) See the FAQs.

"What sort of light bulb should I buy?"

"Should I start with a candle?"

"Where should I buy my light bulb?"

"Where NOT to buy a light bulb."

"What type of light bulb to avoid?"

"What will I be able to see with my bulb?"

"How do I deal with telescope-pollution?"

"Can I buy a bulb for a friend?"

"Can I use my bulb in the daytime?"

For a serious one, how about an image of the moon / Sea of Tranquility, with the obvious phase ..........

"Few sights in science are sadder than astronomers standing in the rain."

Huh? Astronomers use Standard Candles!

[JB80]

It's probably been said but....

"Astronomers do it all night"

"Where's my Jaffa cakes?"

"It's a capital mistake to theorize before you have all the evidence."

It follows that astronomers are bad detectives." - Sherlock Holmes

"Yes!

I am totally Sirius"

There is ? missing in my last post.

Oh well.

For every one, as I think, must see that astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another.

— Glaucon, the older brother of Plato

The cosmos is all that is or ever was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplations of the Cosmos stir us—there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation, as if a distant memory, or falling from a height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries.

— Carl Sagan

Mortal as I am, I know that I am born for a day, but when I follow the serried multitude of the stars in their circular course, my feet no longer touch the earth; I ascend to Zeus himself to feast me on ambrosia, the food of the gods.

— Ptolemy

(Personally I'd drop the Zeus bit)

[Tim]

"Astronomers can see in the dark"

"Put that light out!"

S.O.S - Save our skies!

It isn't a telescope, it's a window to the Universe....

Sorry If I Look Tired, The Sky Kept Me Up All Night.....

Yes I have a telescope, No I haven't seen any UFO's

You should see what I saw last night.....

Cheers

(Guiseppe Ungaretti)

We shall not cease from exploration

And the end of all our exploring

Will be to arrive where we started

And know the place for the first time.

Your first telescope - £500

Money spent on fuel to get to dark skies - £100

Long weekend stay at B&B with observatory £400

Your first view of the Andromeda Galaxy - Priceless

You could change anything you like really to make it suit but you get the idea. And well that poor logo is 2 minutes in paint, I could make a much better one up if needed.
