I like the screen. Also the music room.

I thought Bob didn't want Sunfire manuals public.

PhilDent, I want to see a picture of your piano.

I think I missed Captain Pike. Don't know anything about Twin Peaks.

So sorry.

I always liked Kingman's posts. He made the site fun to come to.

There's no replacement for displacement.

The flyers are getting an adrenaline rush from skimming mountain tops. It's all fine until you hit a down draft.

I have mostly TV, but lately I like Baader Morpheus. I have an ES 30 82 degree, and an ES 20 100 for wide field low power. I use a Baader MPCC with them. Now everybody is making 20mm 100s. APM is quite good and low cost. Most optics from China. Even Meade. They've got their coatings down. But of course German optics such as Baader and APM are outstanding. I went through a planetary eyepiece phase, but now I'm done with that. TV delites are outstanding for planets. If you want to just use plossls, Dakin barlows from Brandon are the sharpest.

A friend just got a Celestron 8" CAT. This one has sharp optics. Many I have looked through not great. You a Televue guy or ES?

I have a 17.5" reflector. I've had my telescope near Sedona. Been looking at Jupiter lately. Saw the white pearls outside the bands.

I need a trip to the Atacama desert before it gets light polluted.

"Daddy why do I have to listen through old people's stuff. I want an iPod."

The world is real. Other people are real. Understanding this is part of a child's socialization. Solipsism is a primitive and passive belief used to justify a lifestyle of doing nothing.
