So I picked up a new mount for my cell phone to hook onto my little telescope. 

I think it will work out nicely got tonight's viewing of the eclipse if the clouds stay away.

Ther will be 1,347,317 pics on FB.  Why would you want to stay up to snap your own

Since your pic is upside down, does that mean you have a refractor telescope? I can never remember that goes.

Yes . Maybe is because I'm closer to the equator that's why it's upside down

I thought I bought a mount for my little telescope that I bought online but it came in without the mount. I haven’t got around to ordering the mount yet.

There are reflector and refractor telescopes. One turns things upside down. 

But you're probably right about the equator thing. ;)

Actually I was being a complete smartass.. I am using a reflector Dobson type telescope.. it does not matter where you are on Earth, the equator will not make the object look upside down.

I didn't take any pictures but I did see it.  Went out harnessed the dogs and made a 7 mile sled run under the full moon and eclipse.  It was slightly chilly but not too bad.  -1 when I went out and -4 by the time I was back in the house at 1:30 this morning.  First night run with the dogs.  They acted a little confused at the start but did well.

How on earth has this thread not been parodied yet?  In all the history of low hanging fruit thread titles, there has never been one dragging the ground like this one before!  @Kzoo has already scored the parody a 10.  

Because I'm not one to be trifled with ?
