Dots in the sky

There are strange points of light in the sky and the background colour
has changed from grey-orange to dark blue with a hint of orange. The
dots are too numerous and slow moving to be aircraft.

I intend to resurrect a device which has lain dormant for generations
to investigate these points of light. The village elders say it is a
"telly scope" and was last used on a night in 1837 which later became
known as "The Last of the Clearnights".

I've heard rumors of such things.

(What was the name of the short story about a planet with multiple suns that
only rarely had darkness --- turned out they were in the middle of a
globular IIRC)

Are you Sir a reliable witness ?
Too many of these wild claims have been shown to be a hoax.
Until new evidence shows the endless nature of the Universal Cloud to
be false I must treat your claims with scepticism sir.

I can provide no evidence. My soul-catcher (a Canon 20D) seems to have
been overcome with fear at the enormous void above it and protested
with a message I believe to be in an obscure dialect of Aramaic: "err
99". I fear it is permanently afflicted as even today under the
familiar Universal Cloud it isn't quite itself. A trip to the Canon
Service Sanatorium is in order.

I hope it's under guarantee. When my Nikon 995 died the repair bill was
more than the price of a 4500 from Morgan Computers.

Oh yes, the 20D came out less than a year ago so mine is safely under
guarantee. I can only presume it froze to death, but it's rated down
to freezing and according to my thermometer I had a full 1 degree C to
play with.
