My lucky telescope 😉

[Alan White]

Based on my luck in seeing all of last nights Aurora as I was out observing,

Well my run of luck continued today with my telescope given a lucky blessing while solar observing 😉

 

So another first, cleaning bird guano from my telescope!

You didn't by any chance observe in CaK?

Is the operative word here, "while" solar observing?

It could always be worse. My chips took a hit at the seaside once. My back too, but I was more concerned about the delicious chips. It could always be worse. A friend's coffee with Baileys took a hit one time by the coast. I'm not sure it gets much worse than that. But it probably does. Gosh, could you imagine not noticing the coffee with Bailey's had been hit?

PS please give your lucky scope a loving stroke, for another aurora show tonight.

PS2 I didn't finish the chips, honest.

I had a 6" mirror like that, a bird obviously managed to get into my shed use the OTA as a toilet and left.😩I washed it off as best I could and though this happened back in the 80's the mark is still faintly visible. The mirror has not been in a telescope since the early 90's but still have it.

I saw a Youtube video of a guy in the USA cleaning a 20" mirror after it waspooped on ,he was a bit nervous of the end result but it turned out OK.

Yup, my lil' Lunt has been Christened a few times now too!!  Thankfully just the ota tube, not the objective  😎
