What really got me was the escalation of this whole thing. PolAir? Really??
Why not just send a doughnut-muncher to talk to me first instead?
Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with the cops, but dumb is dumb.
Tell you what though, next week during the lunar eclipse, I may well set up in the same place, but this time take some really impressive gear, and a laptop! I'd be disappointed if the SWAT team wasn't called!
What do you reckon? An 8" Newt with a nice long refractor piggybacked onto it with cameras plugged into both, all on to a shiny white EQ6? That
MUST surely get a reaction...
Or a nice big Mak with a decorated insulating wrap like the one I did for a C5 below?
I won't take a laser because then I know I'll just get nuked...

Or will I...
I'll let you know from jail.
