"I'm sure you all remember your Greek Philosophy. That stuff about form and function? And you've all seen beautiful things (form) that serve no useful function or very utilitarian things (function) that aren't much too look at. The ultimate in beauty is when form and function are in total harmony. In the case of a telescope, that would be one that performs exquisitely when looked through, but is so beautiful itself that you just want to look at it, not through it."

"It started out with a good omen: very easy to split the Dbl Dbl just after sunset, as soon as Vega was visible. We also found both Jupiter and Mercury, visible with the nekked eye, close together low in the west. The seeing was so good that I pushed the power up quite high (just over 500X) on Nu Scorpii and got a refractor-like split with four perfect star images with dark space between."
