Buying a Dob

[jamespels]

May the Dob be with you.

Luke, I am your Dob

Fracs? Where we're going we don't need fracs.

Look, Daddy. Teacher says, every time a bell rings, an astronomer gets his Dob.

This is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I'm Dob-man

Stand by your Dob

Possibly my favourite... Hang on lads, I've got a Dob...

Ok, got a little carried away there

"your only supposed to blow the dobby dust off"

"We want the finest scopes available to humanity. And we want them here, and we want them now!"

[jamespels]

Time for me to get in Shane'a Maksi... night night.

Telescope

Louise Gluck

There is a moment after you move your eye away
when you forget where you are
because you’ve been living, it seems,
somewhere else, in the silence of the night sky.

You’ve been stopped being here in the world
You’re in a different place
a place where human life has no meaning.

You’re not a creature in a body.
You exist as the stars exist,
participating in their stillness, their immensity.

Then you’re in the world again.
A night, on a cold hill,
taking the telescope apart.......

Surely, it matters not what telescope type is used? Each in their own manner of way will present and frame the universe in a slightly different fashion which indicates that each type is essential to own and enjoy and learn from. Each telescope you use inevitably brings you back to yourself; that you have been a nebula and an open cluster, a red giant and a supernova and one day, you will be again. There is no correct telescope separating us from the stars and the DSOs, there is only time....

Probably not, and it's not even cloudy here. This full moon has turned us all into lunatics!!

Beam me up Dob!!!

[jamespels]

"Here's looking through you, Dob."  (OK, pushing it a bit, there!)

"All right, Mr. Dob, I'm ready for my close-up."

"E.T. sees home" (made me chuckle, but them I'm a bit sad )

"Of all the Dobfests in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine."

"Hasta la Vixen, baby"

Oo, oo oooo.....  "Open the dob bay doors please, HAL."

"I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dob too!"

[jamespels]

I'm going to stop now, before I REALLY embarrass myself.

Big reflectors all the way,

Big scopes see little faint things

Little scopes only see big bright things

Reflectors are king

Pat

[jamespels]

Big scopes have little scopes

Upon their backs to guide them

Little scopes have smaller scopes

And so ad infinitum

[jamespels]

HOW DID WE MISS IT?????

"My Dob, it's full of stars!"
