Hi Nicholas,
I posted a while back some cynical names like "Richard's Folly". I have started naming the telescopes I have and in fact my call sign, BKM2304 is the name of a very nice 10" Meade ACF I had a while ago. To decipher - B = Comet Bennet the first comet I ever saw in 1971, K = comet Kahoutek the comet I looked for but couldn't find in 1973, and M for Murakami a colleague in Japan who discovered visually comet Snyder - Murakami in 2002. The 2304 is the postcode of Mayfield an inner suburb of Newcastle where I lived.
I promise I won't be so obtuse this time and I'll let you know! But the naming
will involve a nice drop of champagne!
Richard
