I see all kinds of images in this thing.

    1. Z, Now that I look at this again after a glass or two of red wine, I see an eye on the left And an eye on the right that could both belong to the evil democrat entity. This is why orshack tests are such BS.

  2. Z, I first saw a deceased evil creature with ice cold breath taking most of the image. No doubt a democrat. Then a small man standing near its nose, then a poodle just to the upper right of the man, then a female stripper or nude model just to the upper right of that or possibly a space mermaid. I see the eye but don't associate it with the other images. Then throughout the scene upper and lower to all that various indescribable individuals likely alien in nature. Definitely an owl-squirrel-cat hybrid on the upper right of the head of said evil creature. Then foxes, birds, and cats.

  3. I would definitely like to have that on my desk top. Beautiful. Unhappily, none of the photos at "click on" come out well on the desk top. And this is something I will never forgive you for. Totally.

    1. Mustang, Windows or Mac? Click on the image, right click, select save as, then save it somewhere where you can designate it as your wall paper.

      Without your computer specifics that's all I can offer, but if you would give me your computer OS, I'd be happy to try to resolve this.

      As far as forgiving me, know that I will soon be posting a trained cat act for you. Purr baby.

  5. I was an astronomy buff when I was in junior high school. In a single weekend cramming session,
    I memorized the entire planetary table, including the number of moons, but not their names.
    It included orbital and revolution periods, distance from the sun, albido, mass, density,
    gravity, mean diameter, etc. My science teacher pissed his pants and for about a year,
    I could recite what I had learned. Time got the better of me but I still remember some
    a few of the data.

    1. Leonard my thoughts on that are with technology and the ability to send space probes like Cassini to planets like Saturn, the information just continues to pour in and I'm a fan of learning the new stuff that is uncovered.
      We have an 8 inch Cassegrain and I've not been interested in setting it up to try to look at space because Hubble and then the next space telescope will provide mu more than I could ever see with the small telescope. And where we are at we can't even see the Milky Way.

      Could I interest you in a Celestron 8 inch with German optics? :-)
