Alright, gentlemenses.....
I bid you farewell, have a wonderful evening...and I think I'll be plowing the canal for a little bit.
See ya tomorrow.
Have fun OBC!
Holy shit. The first time I had the opportunity to piss off of that I'd have done it. Then I would have looked over to see if actually hit the ground of just evaporated on the way down.Quote:

I just asked her about it.... she said she thought I was sharing too much information with strangers, and she said it was cheesy.
Night all.
Well at least she has a sense of humor.Quote:

Meh, men are cheesy. She knows that.
And yeah, I love the [sheepshagger]emoticon. I wish I found more uses for it.
I swear officer, the sheep was stuck in the fence and I was just trying to give it a push.Quote:

Do you guys ever look at the moon with that thing or is it too close?
Not my thing, so I divert my eyes.Quote:

Our telescope is a survey telescope, so it has a VERY wide field of view to allow us to be able to observe the entire night sky in the least amount of passes possible. As such, we could observe the moon very easily, though we don't have an imager. All we have are spectrographs.Quote:

eta: Think of it like this. Would you rather look at a naked woman who is 20ft away from you with a 25x scope, or a 2x scope? Our telescope is the 2x scope...
Yay! 2001. Well, 2002 now.
Yes, the "full moon". I'd like to see the left over NASA stuff and other crap on the moon.

NASA has to have those pics. If I was motivated and not focused on The Post Whore Thread I'd search for them.
Very rarely, we'll throw the eyepiece onto the 3.5m telescope and look through it. Thats super fun! I've seen Saturn and you can count the rings. Looking at Jupiter, you can see the striations and count them too! We've targeted various Apollo landing sights, but you can't see any flags or anything.Quote:

Here ya go, this is our 3.5m telescope shooting the moon:
Cool! Looks like the Death Star blasting Alderaan.
Holy crap.. green lasers shot at the moon. Is that bright flash something on the moon getting torched or just the reflection?
Nope, that is us shining a laser through the back end of the telescope towards the moon. I haven't had the pleasure of being a spotter for them yet, but basically, they shine the big ass laser at the moon, and then sit back and wait for the light to bounce off the reflector and hit the telescope again. They can then time it and determine the distance to the moon.
eta: That green line is the actual laser beam itself. Its such a high powered laser, everyone is required to wear special safety glasses. We also have to have "spotters" who look out from the front platform of the telescope looking for planes. If we spot a plane, they shut down the laser until it passes.
Hopefully, none of the spotters are pissing off the roof when a plane goes by.Quote:

And no, this is a different telescope than the picture I showed you on the other page (which was MY telescope). The 3.5m is controlled by different observers and doesn't have such a huge drop off, its only about 30ft and onto the ground level of the control building.

Just for fun.
Archer - OMG! You killed a hooker!
Cyril - Call girl! She was a...
Archer - No Cyril! When they're dead, they're just hookers! God, I said the cap slips off the poison pen for no reason, didn't I!?
Cyril - I...I...I know but I just thought that if anything bad happened it'd just...
Archer - No! Do NOT say the Checkoff gun. That, sir, is a facile argument!
Woodhouse (butler) - And also woefully esoteric.
Archer - Woodhouse.
Woodhouse - Fetching a rug sir.
Archer - Now he's fetching a rug. Happy Cyril?!
Cyril - NO! No I'm NOT HAPPY!
Archer - WELL GUESS WHAT?! ME NEITHER! I mean, big picture, I wouldn't say I'm a happy person.
Woodhouse - Sir, I have fetched the rug.
Archer - Plus, now I'm out of a rug.
...
Cyril - OH GOD! I should never have agreed to this! You and your stupid mother and her stupid frothing loins!
Archer - (slaps Cyril) Hey, I know you're upset, but if you EVER mention my mother's loins or their frothiness again, I .. don't know what I'll do. But it will be BAD!
Archer - Now lets go bury this hooker!
Hahaha! Good stuff!
Time to crash I guess. Maybe I'll get to "plow the cave" or "toss the hotdog down the canal" or whatever you guys say.
Oh yeah. [sheepshagger]
One hour to go!!
Haha, thanks for changing things up! Let us know how "plowing the cave" goes!Quote:
