Crumby's Telescope Tomfoolery Notes - Shade Relief
Neptune and Pluto share orbits, in part. Therefore, Neptune is a planet, but Pluto isn't?
Here's my personal reason Pluto isn't a planet. It's too hard to find even in the 10" Newt, and once found, so what. So send that sucker to Hades where it belongs. Then, once Pluto is in Hades the place, Hades the person, may decide to run all the lovable cartoon dog cartoons, sequentially, for eternity. That should provide a nice diversion for the shades.
In my former life as a wicked Christian I used to think about cosmic issues pretty much 24/7, except when I was focused on biological issues, including personal ablutions. Most people who do that, think about cosmic issues 24/7, are crazy; the definition of crazy being, can't compete entrepreneur like, or sell labor in the Darwinian market economy. That is why, even as a wicked Christian, I was more tolerant of socialism, and yes, even communism, than the average wicked Christian. My logic ran, "All righty then, I may be too crazy to be doing this or that, so society needs to support me." This logical train of thought eventually led me to conclude that the Soviet Union was the last hope of the white race.
Praise the Goddess. Mr. Red Ears came along and saved me from all that wayward cosmic thought.
So lately, the focus has been on boring technical details like what can I see of the celestial bodies assisted by my brand spanking new 1.8x Apogee barlow that I acquired recently on E-Bay. The clever E-Bay vendor of this particular telescopery gear advised that he had bought up all the 1.8x Apogee barlows at one fell swoop and that the one I was interested in was indeed the very same Ortho barlow formerly vended by Apogee.
The ignorant spell, “You get what you pay for!” has been adequately debunked in this venue, so I don’t need to repeat all that here. Suffice to say, that this new barlow is now my favorite barlow, out of four, including two much more expensive slightly previously used ones. Surprisingly, due to boring technical details that I don’t fully comprehend, it even works outstandingly in the Newt.
Which gets me back to the Demon Mammon. Oh well.
Crumby, do you think you should have four barlows?
It's not my fault. Put the blame on Mammon.
