I find this motivational, hopefully some of you geeks out there will to. I bought one of the new robotic telescopes that have just come out. 2” objective lense, all in one computerized, interface through your phone or tablet.

I took this image tonight. Just a small crop of a larger starfield.

The marked “ star” is really a quadruple gravitationally lensed quasar. It’s light has been traveling for 11 billion years. Here is an image taken with a much larger scope.

Not bad for a $500 scope.

My kids call it the Vietnam song on my playlist.

Then one of them say sarcastic “yes dad we know that they should put a button and have that song embedded in the helicopter”
