If our telescopes could talk

[Sunshine]

If my telescopes could talk what would they say? I have an idea..

My tak would say “stop undressing me with your eyes”

My dob would say “stop pushing me around, you bully” 

My Lunt would say “aw how come I never get to see planets?!”  
 

😂

[OK Apricot]

Mine would be straight on the phone to the police claiming torture and abuse due to never coming out of the cupboard... 👀

[DirkSteele]

Mine would probably accuse me of adultery. My APM LZOS scopes would be jealous of the Takahashi scopes, and the Taks would be suffering green eyed monster towards the LZOS, with all of them wondering why I keep playing the field rather than just committing to one of them.

And the oldest scope, the C11 would be wondering if it is really lost all of its lustre as it is never used any more.

😉

I would expect mine to call me and say something useful, like "hey buddy, clouds are moving in and I think I just felt a raindrop. You better come out and close the roof before I get wet."

My Tak's would of mocked my bank balance after purchasing them.

Jim, that first one resonates with me and drags up previous pain.

I would add another line, Have you put a stop screw on my dovetail???

Mine would say “How’s your back?? 😬

I say that to myself every time I think about observing.

[M40]

Oh, you did it like that then......muppet

[Peter Drew]

"Remember me" ?          🙂

[Elp]

"I'm leaving, you don't give me the attention I deserve."

This of course can go two ways...

Every clear night they're all shouting "Pick me! Pick me! Pick me!"

[TheycallmeRiver]

I think mine would be silent.  None of them have been fed any photons for a long time and they are probably all dead from starvation 😔

[Ags]

Also, my FMA135 says "I'm ALWAYS the guidescope. I don't wanna be the guide scope!"

I hear you. As a precaution I take the dust cap off and shine a torch down the tube once a month.

I have just sold my last astronomical telescope so it's very quiet here.

But can you hear it calling to you from across the void Andrew?

I don't care if it is 3.30 am! The sky's clear - get out there!

[Andy ES]

It's not me or you it's the weather.
