Oh.... My.... goodness....clean up your room! is that a scope in your room or are you just happy to see me. (you probably could see me with that... well, if the earth wasn't so round and all)
Stone me!!! That's a serious looking magnifying glass. Was it free with 6 pack tops of corn flakes?The neighbours had better keep their curtains drawn now, come to think of it, I'd better keep my curtains drawn too! And you Karen.
Ah! Now, bein' as wot I is, a bit of a Patricia Moore or less, perhaps I can be of some assistance.First, stick one end out of the window. NOT THAT END!!! Good grief, you can get arrested for that! One end of the TELESCOPE. Now, you see the whatjamacallit next to the thingamajig, well that needs to aligned so that the dojamaflip is perpendicular with the whatsistname. Now take the howsyourfather off the whateveritsnameis and Bob's yer uncle.Any other problems, just let me know.
Holy Crap! That's the biggest one I've seen in ages.Are you going put it up on your roof? You'll need to build a Sheepy Dome over it.Let us know how it works out. I'm tempted to get a 10 or 12 inch Newtonian, but I'm not sure it's worth it.
......all I need do now is figure out what all the things do..it has dials and stuff and it has declination this and azimuth that !!..I have not got a clue !!...I need help !
Isn't Holy Crap what the pope does ?
