I need a name for my new awesome acquisition. WARNING: Thread might include poll.

[Arcadio]

This is my new baby:

Eyepieces, barlow lens, filter, collimation cap:

I've used it a few times and got some nice views of the Moon, Saturn (and 3 of its moons), Jupiter (and 4 of its moons), Mars, Venus, plus some double stars, star clusters, and very faint nebulas. No galaxies yet, though, due to severe light pollution in NYC. I need to take this beauty upstate to a dark place.

I need a name for it. I just can't decide on which name would be appropriate. What does ATOT say?

Skylar

[brainhulk]

Pedo Bear

 

[Azraele]

I second Skylar. It just sounds cool, and it can be traced back back to *scholar.*

 

[SunnyD]

Idiot.

 

[Sinsear]

Just call it '

 

[nickbits]

skyquest since it already has a nametag

 

[Cuda1447]

How about 'arning?

 

[Arcadio]

skyquest since it already has a nametag

Nah.. it would sound weird if I said "I've got a date with Skyquest."

 

[ThePresence]

Hubble.

 

[rasczak]

gaydar

 

[Scouzer]

long black shaft (LBS)
Andrea Destroyer
Venus Penis

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

Glitter. Obviously a classy stripper name. Also, because stars are glittery.

 

[SunnyD]

Nah.. it would sound weird if I said "I've got a date with Skyquest."

You know, I was going to go there... but it's really just...

Words cannot...

[Krazy4Real]

:awe:

 

[JulesMaximus]

Nice scope.

Not sure about this fascination with naming inanimate objects though. I run into this on a motorcycle board I spend time at too. Half the people there have names for their bike...I don't get it.

 

[zinfamous]

Arcadio is back?? D:

obviously, you should name your new scope:

Seriouscope.

 

[zinfamous]

Nah.. it would sound weird if I said "I've got a date with Skyquest."

actually...it just sounds weird if you say "I've got a date with [insert name of my goddamn fucking telescope]."

I'd assume you were being facetious, but then you are always super serious.

That was exactly the name I was going to suggest!
