Speedy Observing ...

Hi Paul,

Good report mate -- wow, that was a "short" session?

Let's see, you started at 7.12pm and were all finished at 8.50pm -- that's 98 minutes for 57 objects = an average of 1 min 43 seconds each object including the slew to and making a note. Was there a fire somewhere?

That's quicker than a bunch of Kiwi's who've spotted a new pair of thongs at Pak-n-save! If you get caught going that sort of speed again you know what's gonna happen, don't you?

You'll be be sentenced to 6 hrs in the Virgo cluster using a 40 year-old Nortons Star Atlas, a 40 year-old 60mm refractor with the one SR4mm eyepiece -- that'll slow you down a bit!


Best,

Les D
