Tony it is called a funny picture, nothing behind it other than the cow, an it is looking out for customers to the attraction.

Yes she could do with an udder mount for the scope, that one would have its drawbacks.

Lets face it. Why shouldn't cows be into astronomy. If you remember you childhood one of the earliest references to space travel was recorded when the cow jumped over the moon.

That's a good one Leon.

Australia has a lot of those quirky tourist attractors.

Flipping mad cow. Milking the crowd for money. And I'm sure skimming the cream off, out of the taxman's gaze. Really gives me a beef to rant about. I'm really cheezed off. Churns up my insides. That cow's got some hide!

On the other hand, I'm sure that the alt. az. movements on that scope are buttery smooth though. No locking horns there.
