QUOTE(cavwpguy @ May 15 2003, 08:45 PM) Checking in on the action........ Astronomers must be patient folks!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) you have no idea. (actually, that's why I've kind of given up on the backyard astronomy). Not only do you have to be patient, but you have to be a masochist who does not need sleep as well. Sitting for 4 hours waiting to see something, anything, in a fairly vigorous meteor shower is one thing. Sitting for 4 hours between 11pm and 3am, when it's 30 degrees outside and you have to get up for work at 5:30 is quite another. It's a brand of insanity I reckon I've been cured of by now. I can't even imagine these guys who spend upwards of $10k on a telescope, and sit around every night for months, spending upwards of $500 a night on photographic plates, trying to discover the next comet or asteroid that turns out to be a stray Russian booster. |
