Confusius say get imaging !

It's Confucius' birthday (or so it has been determined...)

Interestingly, he was a strong advocate of astroimaging.

here's one of his sayings:

"If you shoot for the stars and hit the moon, it's OK. But you've got to shoot for something. A lot of people don't even shoot. "

Confucius

Confusius can cough-up the 2-3 grand for an imaging rig. And he can make the clouds go away (138 nights - 6 observing sessions)

Interesting....to me it seems most people "shoot" these days. Confuscious is about 6000 years behind the times

I met Confuscious in a dream - I was wearing nothing but glad wrap, he scratched his chin and thoughtfully said 'I can clearly see your nuts'.
Sorry!
