"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Here is a test shot I took tonight with a modified Canon 20D camera attached to my telescope.

It needs some cleaning up and some other work done to it before it is finished, but I thought I would share it with who ever wanted to take a look.

It is a nebula in Orion called M42 (or the Orion nebula) Located about 1,500 light years away. The camera was hooked up to a telescope at prime focus, exposure time was 60 sec at ISO 800. The telescope was an 80mm Celestron refractor with a focal length of 600mm (basicly a telephoto lens).

I almost froze my ass off tonight taking the exposures.

Once I get things done, I will post a final version of the image. Its a bit of work :)

Enjoy
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Nicely done! I'm saving money to be able to buy a decent digital camera. For now I've got a little 7.2 Megapixel Sony that can fit in my pocket.. I want a Canon Digital Rebel

What you are doing is continuing a tradition of curiosity going back to ancient men. bravo! :)
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Thanks for sharing! I'm making that my background! :D

Care to share what kind of telescope you have? I would love to get into this hobby!

Sure thing :)

I have a couple but the one I used for this was a Celestron 80ED refractor. 600mm at f/7.5

The telescope is mounted to a Celestron ASGT mount

That's awesome! The wonders of the universe are boundless. When life is found on other planets, it will truly be a wonder for mankind.

Wow expensive hobby...haha
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

How did you get started with this stuff? I would like to get started, but the Celestron telescope site is overwhelming, as are the camera sites! I have a simple 5 megapixel Sony Cybershot camera that I bought to carry around. it's very thin with a folding lens, so I'm not sure if it'll be of any use for this...probably not. It's about the size of a playing card.

Are there any sites I can visit to learn more about this? Thanks in advance, and again...awesome pictures.

I guess I got started in all this stuff because, really I have no "life" per say. I ended up with a cheap digital camera because at the time I thought I was going to be breeding snakes and selling them, but that did not plan out, then on an impuse purchase, a small telescope, I could not see much with it and one thing leads to another.

Of course I could probably use the camera to my advantage... look for girls who want to pose for the camera :D

What a coincidence, I have no life either! Yeah I will do some research into this and probably talk to some physics profs around here about telescopes. We have a huge observatory here I MAY be able to use...slim chance though.
