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

    Tell her you could have said you were "going to throw a hotdog down the hallway."

    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.

    Our telescope's field of view area is about 3 degrees, so you could fit roughly 30 full moons in it.

    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...
