I don't care for the robot's attitude. It's a pity he isn't a person that I could inflict an act of violence on.

This is how the digital telescope is controlled. There is no eyepiece. The image is on the ipad. It's wireless. So I could be inside and the telescope is outside. I don't know if I like that. It would be like Mark 3D printing trophy fish.  It's kind of a hollow victory. Now everything is an "app".

You don't have to know anything. There's no polar alignment. You just turn it on, it look at the sky and finds out where it is then you click goto [Moon] and the thing finds the Moon, centers it, auto focuses, keeps it centered and optimizes the images automatically.  It did good on the eclipse. It sucks on planets, excels on deep sky. I don't know how it can with a 50mm (2") lens.

The Blue Ghost lunar lander (Firefly) sent back first pix of the lunar eclipse as seen from the moon. I had an Astronomy Club meeting about this Tuesday night. Firefly landed on the moon a couple of weeks ago. Last week another lunar lander toppled over when landing.

The Measles has landed. They're making a pretty big deal of it. I had the Rubella Vaccine. I know that. I was in grade school and this doctor was in class talking to the children. When it came time to ask questions I asked "What is the Rubella vaccine for?" and all the spoiled little fcksticks in the class started laughing at me but the doctor understood what I was asking and he said "Measles".
When I was a kid, you got like two shots...that's it...covered everything, rabies, plague, nuclear war. And they blew it into our arms with like a pellet gun.  I still have a scar. I never got the measles, the mumps, whooping cough...none of that shit. I had chicken pox. That's it. My age group settled all this for our species. We have like herd immunity now.
