Dudes! This is just a crappy cameraphone shot, and it's cloud-covered. But just to give you an idea of what my telescope is like: [link]
I am living in the future.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Dude, you took that picture with your phone through your telescope?? Bananas.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ooooh. I hope you have clear skies for the eclipse, Liese!

Right!!?!
And yes, the reason I was dinking around with the phone was because I wanted to see if I was going to be able to shoot during the lunar eclipse. I am all worked up about the eclipse. What time does it start?

Totally! Everybody to my place for a star party!
Oh, no prob, Kat, and no, she was only going to the Flagstaff airport. It was tiny. I drove her around in circles first. Hee. And it worked out fine; it was the same day as our kiddoes' Christmas party in Winslow, so I had an excuse to come out and hang with them. I gave her two of the spice cookies to eat on the plane!
