Some of you may remember me mentioning that I got one of those "Name a star" kits for my 40th birthday, from the in-laws.

So... Without further ado. Please allow me to introduce you to...

John Vella 25th November 1968

Yes, I have seen it with the telescope. It's just up and to the right of Orions belt.

Lol with, (not at) Heather ;) :lol:

I don't know... but I'll ask the mother in law when I see her next and report back.

Edit to add: I'll bet you can't guess what my desktop wallpaper, (at work) has been changed to? ;)

I don't get the fascination, tbf.

Only you are on that star screen, where is everyone else? :?

I think you were conned. :D

On another nose, wouldn't it be cool to have someone name a star after you. Awh.

John I'm in the star club too. Mine's called Cazbert.

I wonder if we're near each other up there *waves*

I could have listed all of the other star names, but since the only person I'm interested in, (in that particular region of space) is me, why would I bother?

Also, I have had a star named after me. I asked the mother in law and the wife to choose a name, but they both said "No, it's your present so you get to choose".

If you let me have the co-ordinates I can check, but it's all a matter of perspective.
