Lester, it sure must have been a lonely hobby back then, and so expensive and so much time waiting for prints to develop, boy we've come a long way for sure. Don't worry, I already had my extra glass of wine- it is fruit after all- fruit is good for you.
Actually it's the only "fruit" I consume aside from bananas.
Ian and Stephen,
I'm a total loss for words and honestly if you could have seen the look on my face when I saw these pictures.. my jaw is still stuck to the ground. I'm in absolute in AWE of these pics & magazines posted here- you guys really have made my day. And I was feeling so down that I couldn't observe the LMC tonight and it's just really made up for it.
Ian, your pic is like nothing I've ever seen from an amateur telescope, I'm frozen as I type. It's not to say that there aren't pics out there, I don't know, but yours is the first close up WOW factor one that I've ever seen from an amateur telescope. It's very special. Do you mind if I keep a copy of your pic and can I share it on facebook?
I've just made it my desktop background.
You told that story so well of your concert - 1,000kms on a train, how keen was that! Aye, I can't believe how cheap stuff was. Nowadays an average concert is like $150 min. Thanks for the great story, really enjoyed it.
Stephen, please, I would love those articles!
Would you mind emailing them, that way I guess you're not putting them on the internet re copyright issues. When you send a msg to me it gives the option for pm or email.
Thank you so much!!!!
Wow! Bestest anniversary ever! Woooooooohooooooooooo!
Seriously, why is there no cartwheel emoticon
I'm really appreciating everyone here on this thread getting into the anniversary spirit and sharing your stories and pictures, it really does help commemorate the occasion. Thank you.
So WHO actually out there has got a pic of Sanduleak???
I want it.
