Welcome Frank!


 

Be most welcome, Sir Frank, to our merry band of OAFs!

Don't sweat the Monty Python stuff. In fact, Mike Wirths was kind
enough to lend Janice & I some tapes of Monty Python reruns! As well,
there are many soundfiles he placed in the "sillyfiles" directory to
give you a flavour. I think that either astronomy or hilarity OR
both are the general themes here.

Glad you're here...

Photons for Hire...

Hi Frank, and welcome.

Roland, have you been holding out on us "Photons for hire" I mean
really where were you on some of these cloudy nights? :)

One could really "make a mint" among Photon-starved amateur
astronomers this year if there really was a way to "hire out" some
veiws of the sky through the cloud cover. Usually, if I get the fever
really bad, that's when I take out my observing logbooks, sit by the
fireplace, pour a small Drambuie, and re-visit "past observing
glories". In almost all cases, the words bring back the evenings in
question, and the visual impressions of the targets seen aren't far
behind.

I guess we could hire out our logbooks, eh Mike? Then we'd really be
"Photons for Hire"! ;-)

Photons Rule! ( albeit extremely loosely )
