scope naming?

[acropolite (Phil)]

HRH has named my LX "That big ugly thing".
Perhaps you could have
V ings
I nternational
N ighttime
G geostationary
O bservatory.

Rather apt to the task of trying to milk the Milky Way of all its light.

Of course it could always be.

"The Silly Old Moo".

[Gargoyle_Steve (Steve)]

I've been kind of referring to my new 12" dob as Dob 2.0 (pronounced "two point zero") but I must admit that "StarCannon" has kind of wandered through my mind as well .......

For the record Ving I have a black and white staffie cross - her coat is patterned very much like a Fresian cow - and her name is simply "Moo"

(No, I didn't name her, but it kind of suits her - she's very gentle, feminine, and placid)

[Harb]

I call my meade "Bluey" ........ I know Very original...........
Trouble is, I call my Dog Bluey as well !!
The wife keeps thinking I am standing in the dark talking to my telescope

Havn't named the dob yet............

[ballaratdragons (Ken)]

My Dob is called the Bazooka, and the ED80 is called the ED80. Hmmm, I will have to give the ED a name methinks. How about Edie Atey!

Vingo, how about calling yours the Vingerator.

Good one Rod

Cheers Petra

[stephenmcnelley]

I have never met anyone that called their scope by a pet name, have i led a sheltered life???

umm, how about 'Kenneth' , Kenneth the telescope....?

[Ric]

Hi Ving, my LX is called "Big Bunny" not sure why but it stuck.
Probably too many re-runs of "The Goodies"

cheers

[johnno]

Hi Ving,

You could allways call it "MY 10 INCHER",
If nothing else,It would raise a few eyebrows.

I own a 3 Inch ED 80.

Nuff said.

Regards.John

AND..... It looks like someone was watching Robocop, or maybe Starship Troopers!!

Clear skies,

[astronut (John)]

Ving, Since it's a new setup it should be called "The Udder One"

[cahullian]

Ving seeing how you are going to the dark side call it Vader.

Gazz

[Dujon]

If I could subtantiate the claim I'd call mine Cloudburner. Unfortunately I cannot. Damn shame that. I have though thought of calling it Rainmaker but that too is still unproven. So, unfortunately (for the time being at any rate), it's called Teaser.

[ving (David)]

hmm... wonderful choices there..

i was thinking "ream" or "john" afer its former life. she is going EQ full time now

cheryl has been calling it "the other girl friend" for 2 years now

[janoskiss (Steve H)]

I call my ultra-portable 8" f/4 truss dob Little Hubble. I had no inclination to name any of my other 3 scopes, but then I'm not the father.

PS. You cannot have Little Hubble! ie, the name. But you could start taking photos in IR and call Little Spitzer... does not quite have the same ring though...

[tbentley]

In the great Aussie tradition you simply take part of its name and add "o" to the end of it. Newto?

Hi Ving...
Well since the mount's a re-birth...what about "the Phoenixscope"
Cheers!!
