Well, here's what I look like! This is me with my Galileo telescope.
The Cigar Galaxy or M82 or NGC 3034 galaxy
This image of the Cigar Galaxy, Messier 82 (M82) or NGC 3034, was obtained using ACAM on the William Herschel Telescope. It is a colour composite made from data collected using red (including hydrogen alpha), green and blue filters. Credit: Pablo Rodríguez-Gil (IAC) y Pablo Bonet.
M82 is an irregular prototype starburst galaxy, whose centre is believed to be experiencing an episode of intense star formation. The red glow is from a superwind of ionised hydrogen gas, expanding out from the centre as a result of the combined winds of many individual stars.
ACAM instrument is a versatile optical imager and low-resolution spectrograph designed and built by ING. It is permanently mounted at a folded-Cassegrain focus of the William Herschel Telescope, adding more flexibility to the observational operation of the telescope. Yeah! Try smokin' one of these humongous cigars!
It's actually "Guido" over the pocket...on the back of the shirt is big lettering that says I'm the Trainer ...Chi Chi Club...Beautiful Girls...Dance All Night....the wife isn't impressed when I wear it.

WHOOPS!!! I posted this again because when first went back to this forum page, I missed seeing my original post, and then, after posting this, I go back again and I see it twice. OK, moderators! Go ahead and delete the above duplicate duplicate post. Sorry for the double post.

Moderators? Ha. They're too busy selling and smoking cigars. We forgive you Big.

OK, I just figured out what happened. I had to change my forum settings from ascending to descending order by date on my profile so that the most recent posts would now appear on the first page instead of the last page. No wonder I thought my first post in this topic had disappeared! I'll learn how to use this here thing yet! Oh! for shame! And I have always prided myself as a computer geek!
