averted vision.....

You've heard by now of "averted vision" programmer? Well, it has (slightly) other purposes than seeing faint objects!

What you do when the desire to materialise/realize objects just out of grasp is to then start imagining owning something really, really absurdly beyond your capacity to own: you can then dream off into seeing all that Jovian details revealed in magazine photos from 200" scopes etc.......

Sometime later when you realise you're at work and supposed to be actually appearing as if you're doing something, or at home and knowing that you actually have something to do, you then start realizing that the 16" scope isn't that desirable for the moment, and you've got a perfectly good 10" that you haven'y really even begun to fully utilize and.....

Later on you start the cycle up again, knowing that really you're actually too scared of utter poverty and complete spendaholic stupidity - these are the only things that are holding you back. So you start imaging that 60" reflector but (in my case) settle for the 36" apo binoculars......

It's ok brother, we just need to talk about these things a bit more.....
