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!

Happy Birthday Bob!! I met him briefly at a NACCA years ago and he is a lovely man. It looks like he is going well. I hope he gets a few more SN discoveries.
