About This Item

Patchy after receiving his travel bug implant

Patchy is our first travel bug. Looking at him tells the story of his humble beginnings as the logo for our local astronomy club. He has been sitting in a drawer in my desk for the last 3 years as I was not sure what I wanted to do with him. When we started geocaching, his purpose finally became clear to me. He needs to see the world, go far places and see lots of other telescopes. Some of his personal goals include seeing the stars of the southern hemisphere and maybe one day Earth from the Moon or Mars. Who knows, maybe even make it back home some day so he can tell us of his journeys. If you move him and have a digital camera, try to post a pic or two of Patchy at the sites you take him to. Good luck Patchy! AstroD-Team

Retrieved Patchy while on vacation and will take him/her to Flagstaff, AZ to the (can't remember name) observatory there for pictures. Interestingly enough, a friend is loaning me quite a powerful telescope for use at our home in the Flagstaff area. Will follow with details old river dude
