I've snipped most of the message but left part to which I'm responding. As you may remember I had an 8" f6 Newtonian that was named "Janet" and came after the children's song "There isn't a planet Janet hasn't seen". I heard it just after having seen Pluto and realized I had seen all the planets. My 14" Dob is called Seymour deStars. It is named after a cousin who was the 1984 World's Fair mascot, named Seymour deFair. The fair was in New Orleans - wouldn't you just know. I don't, as yet, have a name for the new one, an 8" SCT. Nothing has jumped out at me - yet. Looking forward to hearing David Leavy. aj > > -----Original Message----- > From: az-observing-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:az-observing-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Frank Kraljic > Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2007 5:03 PM > To: Arizona Observing > Subject: [AZ-Observing] Re: Scope Color > > > > > -FRANK > > > > P.S.
