vings competition

Rising in the East above the early morning mist is the long-neglected constellation of Vacca Major:
<img src = "http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/trufflehunter/vacca.gif">
It contains many objects of interest to the keen observer: the brilliant star Vingius whose faint companion "The Calf" is only visible in a wobbletronic refractor; the marvellous Udderly Wonderful Cluster, discovered by the renowned astronomer Ving and is number 105 in his catalogue; the magnificent binary Cowabunga Posterior (Gamma Vaccae Majoris) whose stunning colour contrast of pink and purple (although some describe them as aubergine and duck-egg blue, but to me they always appear as cinnamon and moss-green) can only be appreciated with adaptive optics; the neglected variables Reg and Moomoomamma, both fading fast as we speak... so much to see and so little time!

You have too much time on your hands Truffle. I'll keep my eye out for it.

[ving (David)]

and I thought Ken had too much time on his hands!!!

umm... i did mentionthat there is no real prize didnt i?

[slice of heaven]

Truly a spectacle that constellation Truff.
When viewed at the right time the Udderly Wonderful Cluster seems to flow beautifully into the Milky Way.
Ive herd the region near Arstella is keenly watched by astronomers( only those with access to the wobblotronic) for signs of cosmic eruptions. Remnants of previous eruptions can be seen as large gaseous clouds in the area near the tail.

[trufflehunter (Wayne Robinson)]

Words of wisdom, well uddered, slice! Indeed a black hole is thought to lurk in that very vicinity! There have been strange perturbations in Arstella's proper motion of late.

Wayne,

This is a very serious Astronomy Website created at great lengths for Amateur and Professional Astronomers wishing to aquire further knowledge of the real cosmos.

We do not have time to read these ridiculous creations of your bored imagination when there is a plethera of serious scientific study to be sought.

Your blatent misuse of this site is not only an annoyance to those of us wanting stimulating conversation on a mature level but it is also a waste of everyones time having to put up with reading your dribble.

I must state that I am personally angered at your waste of time and your hope that we will waste our time in reading it.

I thought that you would consider us a bit more intellegent than this low class nonsense.

And furthermore . . .












<b>I LOVE IT!!!!!!</b>


Well done Truff!
