Sorry people. My scope came last Wednesday. It was just a 110mm Refractor.

Thought it would cause the regular 3 day cloud curse. How could I have known it would last 12-13 days. It must be a special scope.

A huge cloud formation in fact, that moves about a few miles per year, just going in some endless circle around the North East.... Torture....5 more days to go.

YES! (The link between telescope gear purchases and cloudy weather has been scientifically proven time and again. Next time, please give us a heads-up! )

[GSwaim]

Obviously a bunch people have new scopes. Who knows, maybe someone bought a new Takahashi Observatory with a 200mm f8 triplet fluorite refractor with a EM500 mount and special custom pier?  The cost is around $200K USD lol.

 

2025 has had really bad weather for amateur astronomy. 

If it's not chemtrails then it's doppler/NexRad radar geo-engineered storms... These 2 things are the main culprits behind the radical weather going on- not so-called "climate change"..

Dear Procyon your purchase of new equipment has brought misfortune to this part of Colorado too. Along with the clouds, rain and tornados your equipment has apparently the power to bring sustained winds of near 35 mph for most of this month. I guess we all need to pray to the equipment gods and have them knock it off lol

Thought it was the radical Bill Gates's fault lol. Or some DARPA dudes. I don't know anything and this message will self destruct in 2...1..

HAARP in Alaska does controlled earthquakes while  DARPA Doppler/NexRad radar does geo-engineered storms. 

This is what the mainstream media refers to as "climate change" and is done with intent and purpose. 

The weather isn't normal because certain people are messing with it continually...

"Did my new scope cause this?"

 

The only way to find out for sure is to get rid of the telescope and log whether the weather then clears. Then buy another telescope. Repeat this experiment ten times and see if there is a true correlation. a hundred times would be even better, to help beat down the random noise. We will await your white-paper a few years from now. Thanks!  Tom

Nope. What actually caused it is banned from discussion here.

You'll probably have to buy 10% pseudo scopes and randomly insert them into the study in an effort to make the study a truly "double blind" one.

Good point! I suspect that some of my scopes have been placebos. What we need is triple strength placebo.     Tom

This has been the longest new scope curse I've ever experienced...going on nearly 5 months now.

Your forgiven, but only this one time Procyon !

Look to the extreme left Pro and you'll see the rain here in Edmonton you've caused.

Your a really nasty fellow for causing such havoc..have you no decency or shame at all !!


Many may scoff but the better the scope is the longer the rain will pour.

What do you hope for then ?


Cheers from a rain is presently falling central Alberta !

I find your reply dead on Tomdey the only thing you left out is where he could dispose of all that extra equipment. I have a suggestion or two lol

Below is a link to The Real Time Live Map which indicates every purchase of a new eye piece or

telescope and how the negative energy is dispersed and finely focused to specific

astronomer detectors around the continent/globe.

 

Be sure to select "Detector Links" and "Detectors" from the drop down menu for full effect

 

https://www.blitzort...htning_maps.php

 

As we speak the current negative energy from eyepiece purchases etc.

seems to be heavily focused unto astronomers in central Texas, the east coast

and the Caribbean but as time progresses and with every astronomy related

purchase the energy is re-focused on to different parts of the country

almost - as if without prejudice

 

If your an astronomer in Central Texas or on the east coast, I feel sorry

for you right now and for the rest of us,

 

In an effort to prevent others from being "Procyoned", maybe please re-consider

and hold off on buying a new eyepiece or astrograph until it's 30 below.

I am a fair weather astronomer.                                                                                                                        Don't want to fight humidity, mosquitoes, cold, hot...you name it. 

     Anyway, September here (Arkansas) has always been my favorite time of year for observing...usually great weather, low humidity, no dew...not cold or hot....great. So I was really, really looking forward to moving up here on a mountain....big sky all around. Moved here in late August, 2019. That first September was awesome, but I had to spend most of that first fall and winter doing house repairs, property cleanup, etc. But that's ok....still got a few years of Septembers coming up.

     Well. EVERY September (and most of the rest of the time) since then has been cloudy, rainy, windy and stinking! (Chicken farm moved in right behind us a year after we moved here!

 

Am I still a fair weather astronomer?                                                                                                                     I will let you know if we ever have any fair weather again and if I can remember which end of the telescope in which I am supposed to look.

[RalphMeisterTigerMan]

I read somewhere that a "device" was built in an "undisclosed location" which cannot be found on any map. This contraption not only changes the weather anywhere only on Earth, but can cause tornanadoes, hurrycanes, snow storms, Aurora borealises and the RalphMeister to use way too many "quotation thingies".

 

This "machine", which is a "working" version of the failed "HARP" is being called "Weather Altering High Altitude Radar Extreme Modulator", or WAHAREM for short. It automaticly causes extreme weather disturbances every time some receives a new telescope and right over where they live. Luckily, it is also set to stop about 2 weeks, give or take.

 

It was originally meant to act as an "over the horizon" radar like the "Russian Woodpecker" but it didn't pan out.

 

Clear skies and keep looking up!

Well, from my part of the world, the creators sure knew what to call this site!! Maybe we should blame THEM! They're probably glad to see cloudy nights, so we will have time to spend here.  

[Zygmo]

Hey!! I just realized something! We just noticed a Groundhog has moved in on our property. Maybe he is related to Punxsutawney Phil!! I asked him, but the fat little dude is not talking. Got the cats nervous.

[truckerfromaustin]

I'm pretty knowledgeable on the new scope curse. I've bought several scopes, mounts, and tripods in the past year with plans to buy an AZ 8 mount and tripod. I've had 2 decent viewing sessions this year. I have not used a scope since the second week of February.

Now it's getting personal...

 

[12BH7]

Ah, come on! Is there really land under those clouds?

 

You could have this?

Lots of palceboscopes in our classifieds here! It always amuses me that Lowell Sketched a vast network of Martian Canals... yet Barnard, much to his dismay and chagrin... declared that he tried and tried and --- just couldn't see them. Toss in a double blind binoviewer and imagine the enhanced view!    Tom
