Telescope Tomfoolery

Last night, due in no small measure to the expeditious arrival of a hardly ever used and most excellent 2x Ultima barlow which we acquired from a comrade Astromarter, we were out lookin' at the celestial bodies and the neighbors windows with the little Lomo. And while thus engaged we noticed that Saturn was traipsin' perilously close to the Beehind Cluster. Now we are wonderin' if we should maybe lug the big Lomo out and see how close Saturn actually does traipse on the Beehind Cluster. That's what we didn't pay attention to, just how close, from this particular vantage point.

Ray! You know very well it's called the Beehive Cluster.

It is! Well I swan. You are correct Rayetta.

Furthermore, we were not lookin' in on the neighbors.

That's correct-o-mundo again Rayetta, but what I am tryin' to do here is use some poetic license in this particular venue.

Ray!

All righty then. Hope, do you know any spells to get this infernal wind to quit blowin' so dern hard?

Yepper. Spell, "Wind don't blow, when the Goddess don't know." That'll quiet the wind right down for the nonce you want the wind quiet, maybe.

All righty then. We may have to use that spell tonight.
