[TAC] Felix

Wags asked -

>I'm curious about Jamie's scope's name. Is it after The Cat, Unger, or what?

All 3.

a) our first scope, ole now-retired #32 from SJAA, an 8" f/6, we
dubbed Oscar. Useful while not fastidious. Then we got a very exact
scope, sure enough Felix.

b) black and sly and resourceful, just like Felix the Cat.

"Felix the Cat, the wunnerful wunnerful cat.

he reaches into his bag of tricks ..."

c) thirdly, "felix" means "happy" in Latin. Certainly a source of
great happiness. Definitely had beginner's luck scoring a first scope.
