Crumby's Telescope Tomfoolery Notes - Orion the Dog Walker
This morning at six AM gazing up at the Trapezium and surrounding nebula, it’s hard to imagine how I could have described that area of the constellation Orion previously as part and parcel of a wiener sock. But I did, and now, forevermore, the trapezium shall, to my way of thinking, be embroidery on a wiener sock.
You may know yourself that most dogs are fond of wieners. That’s why Orion totes a wiener sock. All the dogs following along on their walkie realize there may be a wiener in the wiener sock and that Orion may share out the wiener if they’re all good dogs during their walkie.
Something else troubles me about all this. What is the correct spelling for wiener? Not long ago, I thought the e went before the little I. Dang it! This stupid word processor won’t let me spell a little I. Jeez Louise it did it again. Er. All righty then, wiener seems like it could just as easily be spelled weiner or weener. Those are just as good spells.
But I digress.
Out into the stygian darkness I headed around 4 AM with only Lleu Llaw Guffes for company. Actually, it was more like 4:30 because Lleu Llaw and I enjoyed some instant coffee before we departed into the stygian darkness. The instant coffee proved to have no adverse impacts upon the steady hand.
Our first stop was the top bunny ear where Kappa Lepus is situated. You may recall that Kappa Lepus confused me a while back, its published statistics not complying with my observation. This time, assisted by the steady hand on the Newt, we determined that the primary and secondary are no way separated by 2.8 arcseconds. The separation has to be less than that.
Oh, I almost forgot. Pizza’s Flying Star stands door knob dead in its tracks when confronted by the steady hand. Lleu Llaw commanded Pizza’s Flying Star to cease its motion, and it did, much like when Goliath or somebody in the Old Testament commanded Ogma to stop running around on his girlfriend.
Boy howdy, Orion has lots of neat stuff to espy at. I anticipate many happy nights upcoming with Orion the Dog Walker, plus all the dogs.
