As I drove up the winding road to Pacheco, I idly mused upon the deep mystery of Yahoo P/E ratios as I contemplated the ominous thunderheads on the horizon. When I arrived at the parking lot, it was filled with friends eager for a night's observing. I counted at least 35 telescopes set up.
I started my night's observing with one of my favorite objects, M 17 in Ursa Minor. It seemed most like an edge-on barred spiral with a sharp dust lane. Next, attacking my personal nemesis, I accidentally located NGC 4533. It appeared as that graph in An Unpleasant Truth. Then, I star-hopped to B 326. It looked uncannily like a nebula. Next, I accidentally located B 339 in Camelopardalis. It seemed most like desert sand. Then, for a real challenge, I studied B 438. It somewhat resembled the eternal nothingness of being. After that, I found by accident Abell 6 in Triangulum. It compared favorably with Gollum. Then, for a real challenge, I hunted for NGC 1129. It seemed most like nothing I'd ever seen before.
After a short break to have a smoke, I observed B 272. It looked uncannily like diamonds on light grey velvet. Next, attacking my personal nemesis, I showed some guests Abell 74 in Antlia. It seemed almost the eternal nothingness of being. Next, I located NGC 4715. It would be easy to confuse with cotton on velvet. After that, I looked for and suspected B 506 in Cygnus. It was a blurry likeness of lumpy darkness. Then, for a real challenge, I looked for and suspected B 332. It seemed almost Santa Claus. After that, I checked out NGC 2991. It somewhat resembled a spitting cobra. After I'd spent a few minutes looking at that, I found Abell 30. It reminded me of the eternal nothingness of being.
After a short break to converse with an owl, I star-hopped to Abell 30. It reminded me of a nebula. Next, I observed B 212 in Lepus. It was better than Gollum. Next, attacking my personal nemesis, I studied IC 462. It seemed just like diamonds on light grey velvet.
After a short break to do some yoga, I looked for and suspected NGC 2942. It seemed most like a spider.
Finally, it was time to pack up and leave. As I drove home, I contemplated the events of the night, and realized that any night out under the sky with good friends is better than phone sex.
