Well, there's a few more...more to come  |
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA I actually have sore ribs after those ones Renormalised.
I have ones that follow on from the LRGB one;
Field Flattener: Large "bouncer" type bloke who enforces the lights off policy while observing at the astro camp.
F Stop: What your wife tells you to do when you are cursing after "stacking" in front of the kids.
10:1 Microfocuser: gadget that allows you to concentrate and focus on astronomy equipment that is 10 times outside your price range. eg. you want a $1000 scope and you only have $100.
Barlow: How you depressed you feel after downing a few beers in the pub, trying to build up courage to go home and face the music with a boot full of astro gear that you really cant afford.
Long Exposure Mod: What your brain goes through after spending 6-8 hours in sub zero temperatures trying to get that "perfect" galaxy photo.
Amp Glow: The warm fuzzy feeling the Insurance company gets from the increased premiums you pay to cover all of your expensive astro gear. (AMP is an insurance company)
Thats it for now, hopefully.
