"Starlord" wrote in message ... In my own way I have followed the way of John Dobson and I have enjoyed doing so too. It would kind of defeat the purpose of being a sidewalk astronomer if Starlord setup on the darkest corner of Rosamond where no passersby could see him. Actually, on the darkest corner there might not even be a passerby. Greg |

"Starlord" wrote in message ... That's NOT a gas station you see behind me! That's the infamous Foster Freeze ! Well, now that makes sense! I assume you have to suffer hot humid evenings like we do down here. It would be nice to have a supply of cool refreshing snacks nearby! -- The Lone Sidewalk Astronomer of Rosamond Telescope Buyers FAQ http://home.inreach.com/starlord Astronomy Net Online Gift Shop http://www.cafepress.com/astronomy_net "LAH" wrote in message news:7dyIe.169966$9A2.92205@edtnps89...

Hard to tell from the night picture with all those lights, and the Chevron
sign in the background. Sure looks like a gas station. ;-) "Starlord" wrote in message ... That's NOT a gas station you see behind me!

I'll be posting two photos up on the astro photo newsgroup, one will be of the corner I set up on in daylight showing the scope, the 2nd will be the same corner taken after dark. I've always enjoyed reading your posts during the time I've been lurking here (a year or two), so it's good to finally see where the action happens. Keep up the good work, and clear skies to you.
