Jack, appreciating your kind advice.

Oriel36, on your good advice, I shall try and visit Mount Palomar
Observatory, which is not really that far :-). On the other hand, I
would propose to you that you, on the contrary, take care of your own
little self, instead of flying off to the universe and practice some
insight.
