Here is absolute proof! Greg Bock (2nd from right) and I (3rd from right) recently attended legendary visual supernova discoverer Robert (Bob 1st at right) Evans 80th birthday party. Next day we were kindly invited to Linden Observatory with Bob and met with some IIS members including Tony Barry (5th from right) and Robh (4th from right). We got to see the "Evans 30 inch Dob" and when we looked at the image taken we were, as you will be shocked - a UFO! (above right...)
Seems they are everywhere! and here is the "proof". Much clearer than the out of focus/blurred rubbish we are accustomed to. Tell them the facts..it is a total con job and hundreds of millions of digital phone cameras have produced nothing better than this image. Obviously the UFOs are attracted by big telescopes as evidenced here. So sell them a big scope and tell them to learn and enjoy the night skies and they will see much more than they ever imagined!
