What do you mean hide it from your wife space satelites will be able to take photo's of that

leave it in the upright position and put a few wooden logs around the base. Disguise it as a fireplace/chimney.

Cunning? Like a fox

If Galileo could only see me now.

D'you know why they cut they cut the front out of the rockerbox like that in the nth hemisphere???

Its so they can see the center of the milky way

If you had velcro tabs up the side of the cover you could always open the cover out and say its a new shade sale for the entertainment area.

Whats the rego and CTP cost on something like that?

pgc hunter · #16 04-07-2011, 08:44 PM

wow, you know you've got a big scope when the secondary mirror has more girth than its human owner!

btw, I'm single so she'll be safe in my arms

Paul Haese · #17 04-07-2011, 09:41 PM

How do you get up to the eye piece. I am thinking a mobile scaffold. Using a ladder would be not worth dying over. God damn that is a really big scope. Stand it upright and put tree branches out the top and say it is a tree. Hide if from the Mrs, only if she is totally blind.

Mind you, you'd need a neutral density filter just for mag 10 stars!!

You'd better explain it to the neighbours or you'll wake up to an ASIO raid one night.

Alas, poor Colin, I knew him well...

Found crushed under the mangled wreckage of a supposed 'telescope'. His dear wife remarked "I just got home and saw it for the first time. Next thing you know, a gust of wind came from no-where, and bang! The ladder toppled and Colin made a desprate grab for that 'thing' "...
