Actually, the bags under my eyes was because I didn't feel well.

A lot of people do when I'm at star parties. Most Newtonian scopes like mine don't focus too well, and have serious coma problems with stars around the edges. Mine has a high end focuser combined with a coma corrector on it, so the stars look nearly perfect all the way across the field of view whether using it visually or photographically.

Did she make you feel better?
I think the only thing that made me feel better that night was bed rest.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
