(COMIC) EYE RELIEF

[iantobach]

:Dcan anyone tell me what`s wrong with my dsi - this is the picture it took the other night of ursa major.

Gave me paws for thought, thinks it`s gone all catty on me.

any suggestions?

[DanDare]

A few:

Is it some comets? I thought I saw some tails there!

or it could be your 'scope fur(ball)ing up!

Its amazing how the sky is just (kitty)littered with objects.

Impressive! Unfortunately I don't have enough CATS to herd. :mrgreen:

[Xunil]

Ahh now I know why I've had trouble finding m101, the hampsterwheel nebula in the past...

Ian,

what I think has gone wrong is you were trying for the Cat's Eye nebula, but you mis-read the GOTO handset and it slewed to the "Cats nebula".

I suggest you take more coffee out with you when you do the all-nighters.

Andrew

P.S. Sorry. How unpolite of me-ow - Fancatist catchure.

[ash]

That's a very nice wide (GAR) field view.....

[DanDare]

Ian,

I'm sorry to say that your image is of rather paw quality

Roy

[Vega]

Sorry, .....I'll get my fur coat

It's the type of image you often get with a quality CATadioptric scope

It's probably better to turn off the goto and get used to feline your way around the sky

[Cloudwatcher]

That image gave me paws for thought before I worked out what it was.

I know what the trouble is. You took the picture through a Mewlon.

[mcut]

i think you have accidentally captured the PERSIAN missiles sent to bring down the broken satellite.

[DanDare]

I think your DSI must be Tom and Jerry built.

(Yes, it took me all night to think of that one, why did I bother I hear you ask)

[Xunil]

It's ok, there's a claws on this thread to hand out as much pun-ish-ment we can ham-dle.

I'll get my coat. Actually, I think I'll get everybodys coat.

[Vega]

I never knew there were so many orange stars in Ursa Major.

I can't even split Alcor & Mizar, must be the CATeracts

(entering "somebody shoot him" territory now)

Somehow you just can't help it..you know they are bad and people are shouting at you but you've just got to keep going - it's just cat-ching and you know that its all going to end in a cat-astrophe.

I'm just going for a lie-down now, perhaps even a cat-nap....ooops sorry! couldn't help that one... getting into a bit of a cat-flap now....oh! done it again...

Sorry!

[Vega]

Oh stop it... I'm having kittens with laughter here!

[ash]

is that the 'great purr' sorry bear??
