But you don't look at stars anymore?

Cheers


I currently use a Celestron 9.25 for most observing. I use it mostly in PA
where the skies are darker. I used to own a Dynascope and a little Questar for
travel. My current scope has a computer GOTO drive, but I still miss using
setting circles!

For NYer it be smarter to go to central park and watch the redtail
hawk
and peragrin(sp?)falcons (the fastest predator on earth) snatch
pigeons out of the air.

Shot footage of that many times when I worked for the NY Zoological Society for
a couple of years. The doc lets us have a look at animals most people will
never see. I guess that makes them unimportant to people like you, Josie. But
others want to learn.

RB

Thats great boobsie, Glad all your films are not horror flicks.

It's something to hear a falcons wings viberate at over 200 MPH it
sounds allot like one of those fighting kites.

I think the 9.25 is nice scope. I almost got that one. Is that a CGE
mount and a 9.25 with XLT coatings and a CF tube? Are you doing any
photography?

What a lame selection. Sucks to be you.





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

Yup, it's actually my second one as I also had the early version. I traded up
for it because the CF tube made a big difference in how quickly I could start a
session. I beleive it's the best small portable around and it can provide
refractor like images at times. I also owned a C8 Classic, which was also very
nice. I probably should have stuck with the C8 because I used it more-easier to
set up.
Which scope do you own?

RB

Wow! He got me there!


RB

My list would include Ciderhouse Rules and Millenium Man just for
starters

I don't think I saw millenium Man. Cider House Rules was good, but I think
World According to Garp is the better Irving adaptation.

RB

I'm afraid I didn't like Garp..the book was OK, the film..wellll.

The movie is awkward at times, but I liked the script which managed to touch on
key moments on the book...and Jenny Fields was truly brought to life. Owen
Meany is thought to be an impossible adaptation after many failed efforts.
I'll put Millenium Man on my list.

Good bogie film, one of my favorites as well

King of Comedy
2 star at best

Treasure of Sierra Madre
Ok, but gold does not blow away like shown in the end, it was easily
recoverable and are mexicans that dumb to throw the gold away?

The Thing (original)

OK flik, but the day the earth stood still was better, Invasion of the
body snatchers(original) better, It came from outerspace was better..

Raging Bull

A so so movie.

Magnolia

You big pussy

Dawn of the Dead

Orignal was great!
Moby Dick (Houston Version)

Ok
Moulin Rouge (Houstin version)

what ever
To name a few..


A few better
To kill a mockinbird, 12 angry men, Old man of the sea, the cain
munity, the sand pebble, Bullit, ect..................
