OT: To Italy and Back with Jamie Dillion

After a linguistically oriented conversation with Jamie Dillon, I became
possessed with a compulsion to run one of his observing reports through the
AltaVista text translator and back again. (I borrowed this idea from Gary
Manning, who did it to one of my reports.)

I chose Italian for its fluid musical tones, hoping that some of that would
leak back into the English version. I was not disappointed, though it
appears that some words failed to make the return trip.

--------------------------
Good friday to Coe

We have suffered, not left man gainsay it. Shooting, on the first one had
been warm and dry; The night of friday was a mordacious wind and dew to the
sunset to load the system here. Rashad has once sorriso.

After sure observing accidental, with sitting a lot in the shelters of Annie
to jump the van, I finally has been taken risks in sure a new territory in
Coma.

Begun outside with one surprised moving. It has gone to M85 in the first
place, straight from the table. A galaxy breathtaking, with the structured
arms, distinguished alleys of the powder and a star of the overlapped high
priority on one side of the disc (LeFevre remembered of vederlo before, so
as to we are presupposing that here
it is not a supernova). And us in the field it was an other spiral, NGC
4394. The smallest galaxy is on SkyAtlas but not on the table of Dickinson
in which begun, so as to it has jumped as soon as me.

M85 is easy to find, rookies of the colleague, right between 11 and 24 Coma.
Hour 24 Coma several places like ten main double quantity and currency are
listed: a connection even blue-orange. 4539 are an expert in just computer
science of small what fioca of 24 Coma. The exploration of the field has
not carried nothing in on. To put the double quantity from the field and one
sfocato revealed to mala pain with the avoided vision.

(the list of NGC 1999 puts a star of the high priority on M85, so as to that
it is that one. 4539 are listed like twelfth largeness.)

Then outside of new to 11 Coma and a bit of the north to 4293, one free
spiral, observing approximately 45 degrees outside edge-on. Moonrise was
not far away outside and has wished to find M100, so as to hogging just
ocular mine from the photon-moochers. Two galaxies have entered in the
field and I have not known who were. A person could have defective sources
for panic. Found they on SkyAtlas, 4340 and 4350, dulled towards to
vicissitude, on elliptic and one a spiral. M100 was a new field over to the
Phew switch. Face with on an luminous nucleus. To 210x and 70x, sure
structure to spiral has shown one.

The moon was red over hills and a fog wave billowing within.

It has not taken long to the packet in on. To see bond with the night, 4/5,
when the capacity has begun to still hold. The acetate was 5.0, with the
moments of 5.5 in the best one of the cases. That was with Felix, the 11"
Celestron Dobs, f/4.5, with a Televue 2x Barlow, 22 Panoptic, Celestron 17mm
Plossl and a radiating one of 6mm. 14 of we were observing, 15 with the
daughter Rachel di Jim, than it has hidden in the vehicle. One of the types
from Ames, Kevin, remembered to see one seen of Jupiter with the 11" Dobs
with "exceptional optical" its last time to Coe large. Of the 11 December
was passed. Felix has blushed dark.

Outside of new to Coe as we transmit.

Happy Passover, past-Passover happy!
