I'm sorry this sentence makes no sense.
Is there an insinuation that by poking fun at you guys for getting your knickers in a twist that I did something wrong?
I was merely pointing out that the discussion may be of some interest to the many imagers in the MMS group, at all levels. I did it in the time honoured MMS way, by not taking it all that seriously. It states on the homepage of the MMS group "Warning: Aussie humour can lead to fedinkim drongo prangs
"
So by saying that Peter had set the Cat amongst the Dobs, I thought most would get the humour. Just in case let me spell it out.
This is a play on words, parodying the saying "set the cat amongst the pigeons" meaning to cause a stir. Most of the Meade group have or have had in the past a Meade GOTO SCT (or catadiatropic scope, Cat). A lot of the IIS group have Dobsonian mounted Newtonian reflectors (Dobs). Peter Ward has a selection of scopes including an RC (a type of Cat), hence he had set the Cat amongst the Dobs.
I'm sorry but if you find that offensive in some way, don't read it, or contribute to the discussion in THAT forum, not this one.
Off to colourbalance my narrowband images now.
Cheers
Stuart
