Automatic Telescope

I had heard of it before but I just took a peek today.

An automated telescope in the Sunny Canary Islands at your beck and call while you sit back enjoying Big Brother.

A real gift if you have a REAL research project.

Not the same,in my opinion,if you just want to enjoy the the sights of the Universe of an evening.

(Like looking at photographs of Alaska,instead of going there.)

tut tut tut...i'm disappointed in you peter...you know what they say about astronomers and computer screens....

I know Michael,

Twenty years repairing malfunctioning computers has left its mark on me.

I dont want to see them near my telescope!

(Famously,English coal-miners told their wives to put the coal on the fire !)

I think Astronomy should be regarded as an Art Form.
Rather than as a "cold" Scientific endeavour.

Ive used this scope! Its fantastic! 50 dollars for 30 minutes or somethink!
