I did it and I came up with a life expectancy of 88.9, virtual age of 36.1...a "few" years younger than my biological. I wonder how many clear nights I have left?

Hi,

I lost about 7 years for my virtual age! The world clock has some very interesting stats on it.

Well that was depressing, the life expectancy calculator reckons I've got around twenty years to go.

And I haven't even found a Supernova yet.

Cheers

It reckons I could live to 88. Thats great, in 28 years I might be able to get drift alignment right and get a decent image out of a DSI. Might even see a totally cloudless night again.

15300 cloud free days comming my way

I used it and it say I going to live to 88.3 years. I'm 36 now that means if I stay where I am we get about 300 cloud free day a year. 51 time 300 = 15300. Man I should be able to get a decent image by then.

Actual – 60
Virtual – 48.6
Life Expectancy – 89.4
Well, that would be nice. I can only hope.
Ken I feel like crap too, there is some virus going around or it maybe beautiful weather we got lately. I got new (used) LX90 about month ago and so far I used it to look on the trees thru kitchen window.

An interesting thought:

Does a person who sleeps 6 hours a day "live" longer if they die at 80 than a person who sleeps 8 hours a day and dies at 85?
