Some Hot Cocoa, Friends And A Luner Eclipse!

[cb123]

What more could you ask for?!

 Got together with my local astronomy club for the lunar fest. I was able to image a few decent shots, which I've uploaded for your viewing pleasure. If anyone has some photos feel free to post them here...will very much enjoy seeing them! I had it guessed right, everyone just about nerded out over the vintage Spock LP.  With the exception of Delbert and Todd being a cod over who had the best Trig. Function on their scientific calculator...whoopee! Well, it was still pretty exciting, though. For when the moon reached its fiery pinnacle and flashed a Brilliant Martian Red, Susana, over come with rapture, nearly jumped out of her Sir Isaac Newton logo tube top, after which of course, you could have asked Delbert and Todd what was 2 + 2 and they wouldn't have had the foggiest notion...they were like ducks hit on the head! And don't you know, everybody's cameras were stuck in their eyepieces when it happened!

Missed it---but would this be an OK excuse?-was perusing this site!

Didn't even think to look to the sky that night!

I tried, I couldn't see a thing, it was overcast here. 

 It was a beautiful full moon early this morning though.

Well, as far as I can tell only Alan had a good excuse. Now, as for the rest of you, I can find no justification in your actions, and there can be only one recourse...Death by Firing Squad under the next lunar eclipse!!!

I bet this time you won't miss it!

Next one is in April, and now I know I never want to get on your bad side! LOL

Well, I was going to pardon the EVIL DOERS  ( Now, where have I heard that one before?) at the eleventh hour anyway, just to let'em sweat it out a little!

I'll bring a Kirby with me, use it as a shield! I'm sure that 392 caliber bullet hole will polish right out! 

 

[cb123]

392 CAL.???

Alex, about the safest place you want to be is behind a KIRBY during a shot out! I think the shooter will most probably get a third eye plugged in his dumb noggin. You just about have to be a plum fool to take a pop shot at the ever abiding, everlasting...The Indestructible KIRBY!

 


Now, I must give this warning: Whomsoever wills to shoot a KIRBY shall most likely have their own noodle scrambled by the ricochet...YOU HAVE BEEN SO WARNED, BEWARE!!! 

 

[super-sweeper]

Oh yeah, the 392 caliber bullet is exclusive to the HANDI-HOME DEFENDER! 

 

[cb123]

Oh yeah, that's right! Sorry, I had momentary amnesia there for a second...I'm all better now, Thanks!

A Day Of Calamity..........

And great distress!!!

 Just before the eclipse happened my world clouded over...All the humanity! He's a few of my warm-up shots, Sorry, it was all I was able to get.

  


 


 

 

[super-sweeper]

is that a lunar eclipse...or did you just photograph a dim, orange light-bulb? 

 

[cb123]

Well duh, Alex, anyone that's anybody will know it's a mylar filter which took those fabulous shots of the earth's system solar mass! I converted a cheapo Celestron into a solar telescope. You shall see in the third shot the cool spot has moved...THERE...ARE YOU HAPPY NOW!!!
