heh, this is probably the joke section , so dont need to take things too seriously. NASA is currently having their SOFIA ( Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy ) telescope project , which has a scope attached to an aeroplane flying in the stratosphere region.astrobabe wrote:I don't think that's permitted. ;)weixing wrote:110.

You know you're a Deep Sky person when...
Yeah, I have heard about it. There is also the Kuiper Airborne Observatory (KAO) which is a predecessor to SOFIA. Pretty cool that a Boeing 747SP is used for the SOFIA project. Maybe future airborne observatory platform candidates like the Boeing 777 or Airbus 380 should be considered too.gwenyi wrote:NASA is currently having their SOFIA ( Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy ) telescope project , which has a scope attached to an aeroplane flying in the stratosphere region.

Haha! I don't think a Deep Sky person would use that! Its only a blurry 8x22mm f/3.7 monocular. A deepsky fellow would not even use a 10x25 bino, even though it is better! Nice try, Arief!117. you have a 0.9" dobsonian in your pocket wherever you go: http://paginas.terra.com.br/lazer/zeca/ ... allest.htm
Haha.. good ones Weixing! I like 111.weixing wrote:110. You always take night flight when going oversea and got a telescope that design to mounted on various commerical jet windows.
111. You asked for a fully multi-coated window seat when booking your air ticket.
112. Your star chart start from magnitude 12.
113. You own only 4" eyepieces.
114. You thought the objective of an FS-102 is an eyepiece.
115. You can't find any telescopes in a star party and wonder why everyone was using a finderscope for observation.
116. You use galaxy hopping to find your target.
Oh my...that looks like a CHIMNEY!!!ariefm71 wrote:119. you have a 63-incher as your grab and go
